Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year
On March 3, 2016, the Board of Directors of The Mosaic Company (the “Company”) amended and restated the Company’s Bylaws (the “Restated Bylaws”) to implement a proxy access bylaw. Section 2.13 of the Restated Bylaws permits a stockholder, or a group of up to 20 stockholders, owning 3% or more of the Company’s outstanding stock continuously for at least three years, to nominate and include in the Company’s proxy materials director nominees constituting up to the greater of (i) two directors and (ii) 20% of the Board of Directors, provided that such stockholder(s) and nominee(s) satisfy the requirements set forth in the Restated Bylaws. The Restated Bylaws also make certain clarifications and updates to Sections 2.12 and 2.14 to accommodate the proxy access bylaw.
The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Restated Bylaws, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
