RESTATED BYLAWS OF U-HAUL HOLDING COMPANY

 

a Nevada Corporation Dated as of December 19, 2022

 

 

Article I.

OFFICES

 

  1. Offices:

 

The principal office and registered office of the corporation shall be located in the State of Nevada at such locations as the Board of Directors may from time to time authorize by resolution. The corporation may have such other offices either within or without the State of Nevada as the Board of Directors may designate or as the business of the corporation may require from time to time.

 

  1. References:

 

Any reference herein made to law will be deemed to refer to the law of the State of Nevada, including any applicable provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes, as at any given time in effect. Any reference herein made to the "Articles of Incorporation" will be deemed to refer to the applicable provision or provisions of the Articles of Incorporation of the corporation, and all amendments thereto, as at any given time on file with the office of the Secretary of State of Nevada.

 

  1. Shareholders of Record:

 

The word "shareholder" as used herein shall mean any person whose name appears on the stock ledger of the Corporation.

 

Article II.

SHAREHOLDERS

 

  1. Annual Meeting:

 

A meeting of shareholders shall be held annually for the election of directors at such date and time as may be designated by resolution of the Board of Directors from time to time. Any other business may be transacted at the annual meeting. The annual meeting shall be held within a reasonable interval after close of the fiscal year so that the information in the annual report is relatively timely, on a date and at a time of day and place as determined by the Board of Directors.



  1. Special Meetings:

 

  1.                          Special meetings of the shareholders may be held whenever and wherever called by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, a majority of the Board of Directors, or upon the delivery of proper written request of the holders of not less than fifty percent (50%) of all the shares outstanding and entitled to vote at such meeting. The business which may be conducted at any such special meeting will be confined to the purpose stated in the notice thereof, and to such additional matters as the chairman of the meeting may rule to be germane to such purposes.

 

  1.                         For purposes of this Section, proper written request for the call of a special meeting shall be made by a written request specifying the purposes for any special meeting requested and providing the information required by Section 5 hereof. Such written request must be delivered either in person or by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to the Chairman of the Board of Directors, or such other person as may be specifically authorized by law to receive such request. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of proper written request, a special meeting shall be called and notice given in the manner required by these By-Laws and the meeting shall be held at a time and place selected by the Board of Directors, but not later than ninety (90) days after receipt of such proper written request. The shareholder(s) who request a special meeting of shareholders must pay the corporation the corporation's reasonably estimated cost of preparing and mailing a notice of a meeting of shareholders before such notice is prepared and mailed.

 

  1. Notice:

 

Notice of any meeting of the shareholders will be given by the corporation as provided by law to each shareholder entitled to vote at such meeting. A copy of the notice must be delivered personally, mailed postage prepaid or delivered by electronic transmission, to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the meeting. If mailed, it must be directed to the shareholder at his or her address as it appears upon the records of the Company or its transfer agent. Personal delivery of any such notice to any officer of a corporation or association, to any member of a limited-liability company managed by its members, to any manager of a limited­ liability company managed by managers, to any general partner of a partnership or to any trustee of a trust constitutes delivery of the notice to the corporation, association, limited­ liability company, partnership or trust. Any such notice may be waived as provided by law.

 

  1. Right to Vote:

 

For each meeting of the shareholders, the Board of Directors will fix in advance a record date as contemplated by law, and the shares of stock and the shareholders "entitled to vote" (as that or any similar term is herein used) at any meeting of the shareholders will be determined as of the applicable record date. The Secretary (or in his or her absence an Assistant Secretary) will see to the making and production of any record of shareholders entitled to vote that is required by law.  Any such entitlement may be exercised   through



proxy, or in such other manner as is specifically provided by law. Unless a proxy is deemed irrevocable under applicable law, no proxy is valid after the expiration of 6 months from the date of its creation unless the stockholder specifies in it the length of time for which it is to continue in force, which may not exceed 7 years from the date of its creation. In the event of contest, the burden of proving the validity of any undated, irrevocable, or otherwise contested proxy will rest with the person seeking to exercise the same. An electronic transmission creating a proxy transmitted by a stockholder, or by a person or persons authorized to act for a stockholder, shall be deemed to be effective for purposes of this Section.

 

  1. Manner of Bringing Business Before the Meeting:

 

At any annual or special meeting of shareholders only such business (including nomination as a director) shall be conducted as shall have been properly brought before the meeting. In order to be properly brought before the meeting, such business must be a proper subject for shareholder action under Nevada law and must have either been (A) specified in the written notice of the meeting (or any supplement thereto) given to shareholders on the record date for such meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, (B) brought before the meeting at the direction of the Board of Directors or the chairman of the meeting, selected as provided in Section 9 of this Article II, or (C) specified in a written notice given by or on behalf of a shareholder on the record date for such meeting entitled to vote thereat or a duly authorized proxy for such shareholder, in accordance with the following requirements. A notice referred to in clause (C) hereof must be delivered personally to, or mailed to and received at, the principal executive office of the corporation, addressed to the attention of the Secretary, not more than ten (10) days after the date of the initial notice referred to in clause (A) hereof, in the case of business to be brought before a special meeting of shareholders, and not less than one hundred and twenty (120) days prior to the anniversary date of the initial notice referred to in clause (A) hereof with respect to the previous year's annual meeting, in the case of business to be brought before an annual meeting of shareholders. Such notice referred to in clause (C) hereof shall set forth (i) a full description of each such item of business proposed to be brought before the meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at such meeting, (ii) the name and address of the person proposing to bring such business before the meeting, (iii) the class and number of shares held of record, held beneficially, and represented by proxy by such person as of the record date for the meeting, if such date has been made publicly available, or as of a date not later than thirty (30) days prior to the delivery of the initial notice referred to in clause (A) hereof, if the record date has not been made publicly available, (iv) if any item of such business involves a nomination for director, all information regarding each such nominee that would be required to be set forth in a definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any successor thereto, and the written consent of each such nominee to serve if elected, (v) any material interest of such shareholder in the specified business, (vi) whether  or not such shareholder is a member of any partnership, limited partnership, syndicate, or other group pursuant to  any  agreement,  arrangement,  relationship,  understanding,  or otherwise,  whether  or  not  in  writing,  organized  in  whole  or  in  part  for  the  purpose  of acquiring, owning, or voting shares of the corporation, and (vii) all other information that would be required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission if, with respect to the business proposed to be brought before the meeting, the person proposing such business was a participant in a solicitation subject to Section 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any successor thereto. No business shall be brought before any meeting of the shareholders


of the corporation otherwise than as provided in this Section.

 

Notwithstanding compliance with the foregoing provisions, the Board of Directors shall not be obligated to include information as to any shareholder nominee for director or any other shareholder proposal in any proxy statements or other communication sent to shareholders.

 

The chairman of the meeting may, if the facts warrant, determine that any proposed item of business or nomination as director was not brought before the meeting in accordance with the foregoing procedure, and if he should so determine, he shall so declare to the meeting and the improper item of business or nomination shall be disregarded.

 

  1. Right to Attend:

 

Except only to the extent of persons designated by the Board of Directors or the chairman of the meeting to assist in the conduct of the meeting, and except as otherwise permitted by the Board of Directors or the chairman of the meeting, the persons entitled to attend any meeting of shareholders may be confined to (i) shareholders entitled to vote thereat and (ii) the persons upon whom proxies valid for purposes of the meeting have been conferred or their duly appointed substitutes  (if  the  related  proxies   confer  a   power  of substitution); provided, however, that the Board of Directors or the chairman of the meeting may establish rules limiting the number of persons referred to in clause (ii) as being entitled to attend on behalf of any shareholder so as to preclude such an excessively large representation of such shareholder at the meeting as, in the judgment of the Board of Directors or chairman of the meeting, would be unfair to other shareholders represented at the meeting or be unduly disruptive to the orderly conduct of business at such meeting (whether such representation would result from fragmentation of the aggregate number of shares held by such shareholder for the purpose of conferring proxies, from the naming of an excessively large proxy delegation by such shareholder, or from employment of any other device). A person otherwise entitled to attend any such meeting will cease to be so entitled if, in the judgment of the chairman of the meeting, such person engages thereat in disorderly conduct impeding the proper conduct of the meeting in the interests of all shareholders as a group.

 

  1. Quorum Requirements:

 

One-third of the outstanding shares of the corporation entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of the shareholders.  If less than one-third of the outstanding shares are represented at a meeting, the majority of the shares so represented may adjourn the meeting without further notice. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting originally called.

 

  1. Tellers:

 

The Board of Directors, in advance of any shareholders meeting may appoint one or more tellers to act at such meeting (and any adjournment thereof), and may appoint one or more alternate tellers to serve (in the order designated) in the absence of any teller or tellers so appointed. If any person appointed as a teller or alternate teller fails to appear or to act, a substitute may be


appointed by the chairman of the meeting.  The  tellers (acting through a majority of them on any disputed matter) will determine the number of shares outstanding, the authenticity, validity and effect of proxies, the credentials of persons purporting to be shareholders or persons named or referred to in proxies, and the number of shares represented at the meeting in person and  by  proxy;  they  will receive and count votes, ballots, and consents and announce the results thereof; they will hear and determine all challenges and questions pertaining to proxies and voting; and, in general, they will perform such acts as may be proper to conduct elections and voting  with complete fairness to all shareholders. No teller need be a shareholder of the corporation. Unless otherwise provided in the Articles of  Incorporation  or other governing instrument, each shareholder shall be entitled to one vote  for each share  of stock held by him or her, and, in the event a shareholder holds a fraction of a share or a full share plus a fraction, any such fractional share shall be entitled to a proportionate fraction of one vote or such other votes, if any, as is provided in the Articles of Incorporation or other governing instrument.

 

  1. Organization and Conduct of Business:

 

Each shareholders' meeting will be called to order and thereafter  chaired  by  the Chairman of the Board of Directors if there then is one; or, if not, or if the Chairman  of the Board of Directors is absent or so requests, then by the President; or if both the Chairman of the Board of Directors and the President are unavailable, then by such other officer of the corporation or such shareholder as may be appointed by the Board of Directors. The Secretary (or in his or her absence an Assistant Secretary) of the corporation will act as secretary of each shareholders meeting; if neither the Secretary nor an Assistant Secretary is in attendance, the chairman of the meeting may appoint any person (whether a shareholder or not) to act as secretary thereat. After calling a meeting to order, the chairman of the meeting may require the registration of all shareholders intending to vote in person, and the filing of all proxies, with the teller or tellers, if one or more have been appointed (or, if not, with the secretary of the meeting). After the announced time for such filing of proxies has ended, no further proxies or changes, substitutions, or revocations of proxies will be accepted. The chairman of the meeting will, among other things, have absolute authority to determine the order of business to be conducted at such meeting and to establish rules for, and appoint personnel to assist in, preserving the orderly conduct of the business of the meeting (including any informal, or question and answer, portions thereof).  Any informational or other informal session of shareholders conducted under the auspices of the corporation after the conclusion of or otherwise in conjunction with any formal business meeting of the shareholders will be chaired by the same person who chairs the formal meeting, and the foregoing authority on his or her part will extend to the conduct of such informal session.

 

  1. Voting:

 

The number of shares voted on any matter submitted to the shareholders which is required to constitute their action thereon or approval thereof will be determined in accordance with applicable law, the Articles of Incorporation, and these By-Laws, if applicable. Voting will be by ballot on any matter as to which a ballot vote is demanded, prior to the time the voting begins, by any person entitled to vote on such matter; otherwise, a voice vote will suffice.  No ballot or change of vote will be accepted after the polls have been declared closed following the ending of the announced time for voting.

 


  1. Shareholder Approval or Ratification:

 

The Board of Directors may submit any contract or act for approval or ratification at any duly constituted meeting of the shareholders, the notice of which either includes mention of the proposed submittal or is waived as provided by law. If any contract or act so submitted is approved or ratified by a majority of the votes cast thereon at such meeting, the same will be valid and as binding upon the corporation and all of its shareholders as it would be if approved and ratified by each and every shareholder of the corporation.

 

  1. Informalities and Irregularities:

 

All informalities or irregularities in any call or notice of a meeting, or in the areas of credentials, proxies, quorums, voting, and similar matters, will be deemed waived if no objection is made at the meeting.

 

  1. Action Without a Meeting:

 

Shareholder action by written consent is prohibited.

 

  1. Application of Nevada Revised Statutes Sections 78.378 to 78.3793, inclusive:

 

The provisions of Sections 78.378 to 78.3793, inclusive, of the Nevada Revised Statutes shall not apply to (i) the exchange of shares of the corporation's Series A Common Stock, 0.25 par value, for shares of the corporation's "Common Stock, $0.25 Par Value" (as defined in the Articles of Incorporation) held by Mark V. Shoen, James P. Shoen and Edward J. Shoen or to any exchange of shares of the corporation's Common Stock, $0.25 par value for shares of the corporation's Series A Common Stock, $0.25 par value held by Mark V. Shoen, James P. Shoen and Edward J. Shoen; or (ii) any and all acquisitions, directly or indirectly or otherwise, of any class or series of the Corporation’s capital stock effected by Edward J. Shoen, Mark V. Shoen, or any of their respective affiliates, associates, related entities or family members.

 

  1. Alternative Means for Participating At Meeting:

 

The Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, determine that a meeting of shareholders shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely through electronic communications, videoconferencing, teleconferencing or other available technology which allows the shareholders to communicate simultaneously or sequentially. Participation in a meeting pursuant to this Section 15 of Article II, constitutes presence in person at the meeting.

 

Article III.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

 

  1. Number and Term of Directors:

 

The Board of Directors ("Board of Directors") shall consist of not less than 4 nor more than 8 directors (each a "director"), the exact number of directors to be determined from time to time solely by a resolution adopted by an affirmative vote of a majority of the entire Board of


Directors.

 

A director shall hold office for a term of one year, commencing upon the effective time of his or her appointment or election to the Board of Directors, and ending at such time as he or she is re-elected or his or her successor shall be elected and shall qualify upon the vote at the next annual meeting of stockholders of the Corporation; subject however, to prior death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office.  Directors need not be stockholders.

 

  1. Vacancies:

 

Newly created directorships resulting from an increase in the number of the directors and any vacancy on the Board of Directors shall be filled by an affirmative vote of a majority of the Board of Directors then in office. A director elected by the Board of Directors to fill a vacancy shall hold office until the next meeting of shareholders called  for the election of directors and until his or her successor shall be elected and shall qualify; provided, however, that if a vacancy on the Board of Directors occurs or is filled after the date by which a shareholder, acting in accordance with Article II, Section 5(C) of these By-Laws, may present a director nomination before the next meeting  of shareholders called for the election of directors, the director elected by the Board of Directors to fill such vacancy shall hold office until the next meeting of shareholders called  for the election of directors at which a shareholder, acting in accordance with Article II, Section 5(C) of these By-Laws, may present a director nomination.

 

  1. Regular Meetings:

 

After the adjournment of the annual meeting of the shareholders of the corporation, the newly elected directors shall meet for the purpose of organization, the election of officers, and the transaction of such other business as may come before said meeting.   No



notice shall be required for such meeting. The meeting may be held within or without the State of Nevada. Regular meetings, other than the annual ones, may be held at regular intervals at such times and places as the Board of Directors may provide.

 

  1. Special Meetings:

 

Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be called at any time by the Chairman of the Board of Directors or by any three (3) members of the seats on the Board of Directors giving written notice thereof to the Chairman of the Board of Directors, or said special meeting may be called without notice by unanimous consent of all the members by the presence of all the members of said board at any such meeting. The special meetings of the Board of Directors may be held within or without the State of Nevada.

 

  1. Notice:

 

No notice need be given of regular meetings of the Board of Directors.  Notice of the time and place (but not necessarily the purpose or all of the purposes) of any special meeting will be given to each director in person or by telephone, or via mail or telegram addressed in the manner then appearing on the corporation's records. Notice to any director of any such special meeting will be deemed given sufficiently in advance when (i), if given by mail, the same is deposited in the United States mail at least four days before the meeting date, with postage thereon prepaid, (ii) if given by telegram, the same is delivered to the telegraph office for fast transmittal at least 48 hours prior to the convening of the meeting, (iii) if given by facsimile transmission, the same is received by the director or an adult member of his or her office staff or household, at least 24 hours prior to the convening of the meeting, or (iv) if personally delivered or given by telephone, the same is handed, or the substance thereof is communicated over the telephone, to the director or to an adult member of his or her office staff or household, at least 24 hours prior to the convening of the meeting. Any such notice may be waived as provided by law. No call or notice of a meeting of directors will be necessary if each of them waives the same in writing or by attendance. Any meeting, once properly called and noticed (or as to which call and notice have been waived as aforesaid) and at which a quorum is formed, may be adjourned to another time and place by a majority of those in attendance.

 

  1. Quorum:

 

A majority of the Board of Directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, except where otherwise provided by law or by these By-Laws, but if at any meeting of the seats on the Board of Directors less than a quorum is present, a majority of those present may adjourn the meeting from time to time until a quorum is obtained.

 

  1. Action by Telephone or Consent:

 

Any meeting of the Board of Directors or any committee thereof may be held by conference telephone or similar communications equipment as permitted by law in which case any required notice of such meeting may generally describe the arrangements (rather than the place) for the holding thereof, and all other provisions herein contained or referred to will apply to such meeting as though it were physically held at a single place. Action may also be taken by the Board of Directors or any


committee thereof without a meeting if the members thereof consent in writing thereto as contemplated by law.

 

  1. Order of Business:

 

The Board of Directors may, from time to time, determine the order of business at their meeting.  The usual order of business at such meetings shall be as follows:

3rd.Consideration of communications of the Board of Directors

 

4th.Reports of officials and committees

 

5th.Unfinished business

 

6th.Miscellaneous business

 

7th.New business

 

8th.Adjournment

 

  1. Voting:

 

Any matter submitted to a vote of the directors will be resolved by a majority of the votes cast thereon. If during the course of any annual, regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors, at which all the members of said board are present and vote, there is a vote taken and the vote is evenly divided between equal numbers of directors, then, and only then, the Chairman of the Board of Directors shall break the deadlock by casting a second and deciding vote. This power may be exercised by the Chairman of the Board of Directors as to any and every issue that properly comes to the board for a vote, including, but not limited to the election of officers.

 

Article IV.

Shares of stock of the corporation shall be evidenced by certificates in such form as the Board of Directors may from time to time prescribe; provided, however, that the Company shall also be authorized to issue uncertificated shares of all or certain classes or series of stock of the corporation. All certificates for the shares of the capital stock of the corporation shall be signed by the President or Vice-President, and Secretary or Assistant Secretary. Each certificate shall show upon its face that the corporation is organized under the laws of Nevada, the number and par value, if any, of each share represented by it, and the name of the person owning the shares represented thereby, with the number of each share and the date of issue. The transfer of any certificated share or shares of stock in the corporation may be made by surrender of the certificate issued therefor, and the written assignment thereof by the owner or his duly authorized agent or attorney-in­ fact. Upon such surrender and assignment, a new certificate (or uncertificated shares, at the discretion of the corporation) shall be issued to the assignee as he may be entitled, but without such surrender and assignment no transfer of stock shall be recognized by the corporation. The transfer of any uncertificated share or shares of stock in the corporation may be made only upon the corporation's receipt of proper transfer instructions from the registered owner of the share or shares. The Board of Directors shall have the power concerning the issue, transfer and registration of certificates for agents and registrars of transfer, and may require all stock certificates to bear signatures of either or both. The stock transfer books shall be closed ten days before each meeting of the shareholders and during such period no stock shall be transferred.

The right of first refusal set forth in this paragraph shall not apply to shares of the Corporation's Series B Common Stock.

 

  1. The corporation shall have a period of 30 calendar days following the date of its receipt of such notice to determine whether it wishes to purchase such shares at the price stated therein. Such determination shall be made by the corporation by its delivery to such holder of a written acceptance of such offer within such 30- day period. Such written acceptance shall specify the date (to be not later than the tenth calendar day following the date on which such 30-day period expired), time and place at which such holder shall deliver to the corporation the certificate(s) for the shares of Common Stock to be so sold against the delivery by the corporation of a certified or bank cashier's check in the amount of the purchase price therefor.

If such holder shall not dispose of all or any part of such shares within such 90-day period (or, in the event of a sale of part thereof, the shares remaining untransferred), such shares shall continue to be subject in all respects to the provision of this Article VI, Section 2.
