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

Amendments to Bylaws

At its regularly scheduled meeting on October 15, 2013, the Board of Directors of Modine Manufacturing Company (the “Company”) unanimously approved changes to the Company’s bylaws, effective as of October 15, 2013.  These amendments are the result of the Board’s periodic review of the Company’s corporate governance practices, and are intended generally to update certain provisions of the Company’s bylaws to comport with both with the Company’s business practices and other recognized best practices.  The following is a summary of material changes to the Company’s bylaws:
 
· revision of various provisions of the Bylaws that currently refer to the Chairperson of the Board to also provide for the position of Lead Director;
 
· revision of Section 2.04(b) of the Bylaws to permit the Lead Director, the presiding officer or any duly authorized officer of the Company to adjourn annual or special meetings of the Company’s shareholders; and
 
· revision of the advance notice provisions in Section 2.11(a)(ii) of the Bylaws to clarify the distinction between Rule 14a-8 shareholder proposals and advance notice for director nominations or other business to be brought before shareholders’ meetings.

The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the bylaws, a copy of which is included as an exhibit to this Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
