On November 7, 2022, Gen Digital Inc. (previously known as NortonLifeLock Inc.)

The Company also announced that it intends for its Common Stock to cease trading under the ticker symbol "NLOK" and begin trading under its new ticker symbol, "GEN," on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, which the Company expects to be effective on November 8, 2022.

Additionally, on November 2, 2022, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of the Company adopted and approved, effective as of November 7, 2022, amended and restated by-laws of the Company (as amended and restated, the "Amended and Restated By-laws"). The Amended and Restated By-laws, among other things: (i) reflect the change in the Company's name from "NortonLifeLock Inc." to "Gen Digital Inc."; (ii) revise procedures and disclosure requirements for stockholders to provide notice of the nomination of directors (outside of "proxy access") and the submission of proposals for consideration at meetings of the stockholders of the Company; (iii) clarify the Board and chair's role in setting rules and procedures for, postponing, adjourning, rescheduling, or canceling any meeting of stockholders previously scheduled; (iv) separately define the roles of President and CEO of the Company to reflect current arrangements, following consummation of the merger with Avast plc; (v) provide the Board greater flexibility to delegate authority to Board committees under Delaware law; (vi) adopt gender-neutral terms when referring to particular positions, offices or title holders, including the adoption of the title Chair in place of Chairman; and (vii) make certain other administrative, modernizing, clarifying and conforming changes, including making updates to reflect recent amendments to the Delaware General Corporation Law.
