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

On December 7, 2015, the Board of Directors of Mueller Industries, Inc.

The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Company’s Amended and Restated By-Laws, as adopted and effective on December 7, 2015, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated in this Item 5.03 by reference.
