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

On June 22, 2018, Colony NorthStar, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the "Company"), filed Articles of Amendment to its charter (the "Articles of Amendment") with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland, to change its name to "Colony Capital, Inc.", as previously announced. The Articles of Amendment became effective as of 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on June 25, 2018. In addition, the Company amended and restated its bylaws (the “Amended and Restated Bylaws”), effective June 25, 2018, solely to reflect the name change.

In connection with the name change, effective on June 25, 2018, the Company's trading symbols on the New York Stock Exchange changed from "CLNS" to "CLNY" for shares of the Company's Class A common stock, and from "CLNS PR B", "CLNS PR E", "CLNS PR G", "CLNS PR H", "CLNS PR I" and "CLNS PR J" to "CLNY PR B", " CLNY PR E", "CLNY PR G", "CLNY PR H", "CLNY PR I" and "CLNY PR J", respectively, for shares of the Company's 8.25% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), 8.75% Series E Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Series E Preferred Stock”), 7.50% Series G Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Series G Preferred Stock”), 7.125% Series H Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Series H Preferred Stock”), 7.15% Series I Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Series I Preferred Stock”) and 7.125% Series J Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Series J Preferred Stock”), respectively. The new CUSIP number for the Company's Class A common stock is 19626G 108 and the new CUSIP number for the Series B Preferred Stock, Series E Preferred Stock, Series G Preferred Stock, Series H Preferred Stock, Series I Preferred Stock and Series J Preferred Stock is 19626G 207, 19626G 306, 19626G 405,19626G 702, 19626G 603 and 19626G 504, respectively. The Company’s outstanding shares of 8.500% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock will continue to trade under the symbol “CLNS PR D” through its previously announced redemption date of July 2, 2018.

The foregoing description of the Articles of Amendment and Amended and Restated Bylaws is a summary only, does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the Articles of Amendment and Amended and Restated Bylaws, copies of which are filed as Exhibit 3.1 and Exhibit 3.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and are incorporated herein by reference.
