Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On December 9, 2016, The Kraft Heinz Company’s (the “Company”) Board of Directors amended the Company’s Amended and Restated By-laws (the “By-Laws”) to change our fiscal year end from the Sunday closest to December 31 to the last Saturday in December of each calendar year. This amendment will be effective on December 31, 2016 and, consequently, the change to our fiscal year will be effective for our 2016 fiscal year. As a result of the change in our fiscal year, our 2016 fiscal year end will be December 31, 2016 and our 2017 fiscal year end will be December 30, 2017. However, the change is not deemed a change in fiscal year for purposes of reporting subject to Rule 13a-10 or 15d-10 and, as a result, a transition report is not required to be filed on Form 10-K for our 2016 fiscal year or 2015 fiscal year. This change is intended to more closely align our fiscal year end date to the close date of our U.S. and Canadian businesses and is not expected to have an effect on our results.
The above description of the amendments to the By-Laws is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the By-Laws, which are filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this report and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.
(d) The following exhibit is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K.
