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

On December 10, 2014, the Board of Directors of Noranda Aluminum Holding Corporation (the “Corporation”) amended the Corporation’s Amended and Restated By-Laws (the “Bylaw Amendment”). The Bylaw Amendment provides for an exclusive forum provision which provides that unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director or officer or other employee of the Corporation to the Corporation or the Corporation’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against the Corporation or any director or officer or other employee of the Corporation arising pursuant to any provision of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation or of the Corporation’s Amended and Restated By-Laws (as either may be amended from time to time), or (iv) any action asserting a claim against the Corporation or any director or officer or other employee of the Corporation governed by the internal affairs doctrine, shall be a state court located within the State of Delaware (or, if no state court located within the State of Delaware has jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware).
The foregoing summary is qualified by the full text of the Corporation’s Amendment to Amended and Restated By-Laws, which is included as Exhibit 3.2 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
