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

Amendment to Certificate of Incorporation

At the 2017 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. (the “Company”) held on May 25, 2017, the stockholders of the Company approved an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) adopting a majority voting standard for uncontested director elections, as more fully described in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 13, 2017. The amendment became effective upon the filing of the Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on May 25, 2017.

The foregoing description of the amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation does not purport to be a complete description and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Certificate of Amendment, a copy of which is included in the complete copy of the Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated by reference herein.

Amendment to Bylaws

On May 25, 2017, an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws to make conforming changes to implement majority voting in uncontested director elections became effective (the “Bylaws Amendment”). The Bylaws Amendment was previously approved by the Board of Directors of the Company, subject to stockholder approval of the amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation and effectiveness of the Certificate of Amendment, and did not require approval of the stockholders of the Company.

The foregoing description of the Bylaws Amendment does not purport to be a complete description and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Bylaws Amendment, a copy of which is included in the complete copy of the Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended, attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 3.2 and incorporated by reference herein.
