Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
Energizer Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) held its annual meeting of shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) at the Company’s World Headquarters on Monday, January 30, 2017. At the Annual Meeting, following the recommendation of the Board of Directors, the shareholders of the Company voted to approve and adopt an amendment and restatement of the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company (the “Second Amended and Restated Articles”), as described in the Company’s Proxy Statement, dated December 13, 2016, to provide for the phased-in implementation of annual elections for all Directors and the resulting phased-in elimination of the classified Board structure. The Second Amended and Restated Articles revised Article Four of the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to provide that Directors elected after the 2017 Annual Meeting will be elected for one year terms, i.e., the term of office for each Director elected at the 2018 Annual Meeting and thereafter will expire at the next succeeding annual meeting of shareholders and when his or her successor is elected and qualified or upon his or her earlier death, resignation or other cause for removal. The Second Amended and Restated Articles became effective on January 31, 2017 upon filing of a certificate of amendment and restatement with the Secretary of State of Missouri.
Also on January 31, 2017, a corresponding amendment and restatement of the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Second Amended and Restated Bylaws”) became effective. The Second Amended and Restated Bylaws are intended to further implement the declassification of the Board of Directors by making a corresponding amendment and restatement to Article II of the Amended and Restated Bylaws.
The foregoing descriptions of the Second Amended and Restated Articles and the Second Amended and Restated Bylaws do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Second Amended and Restated Articles, which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 hereto, and the Second Amended and Restated Bylaws, which is filed as Exhibit 3.2 hereto, respectively, and in each case incorporated herein by reference.
