Item 5.03
Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On October 29, 2013, the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of GATX Corporation (the “Company”) was amended to eliminate two series of its preferred stock, par value $1.00 per share: (i) the series designated “$2.50 Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock” (the “Series A Preferred”) and (ii) the series designated “$2.50 Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, Series B” (the “Series B Preferred”). All outstanding shares of Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred were redeemed on June 10, 2013 and, therefore, no shares of either series were outstanding at the time of the amendment. The Company also filed a restatement of its Certificate of Incorporation to reflect the elimination of the Series A Preferred and the Series B Preferred. The amendment and restatement of the Certificate of Incorporation were effective upon filing with the Secretary of State of the State of New York on October 29, 2013. The description set forth above regarding the amendment and restatement of the Certificate of Incorporation is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the certificate of amendment and the restated certificate, copies of which are attached to this current report on Form 8-K as Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2, respectively.
