Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
At the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders of TE Connectivity Ltd. (the “Company”) held on March 2, 2016, shareholders of the Company approved amendments to Article 5 of the Company’s Articles of Association to approve the Board of Director’s authority to issue shares out of the Company’s authorized capital for a two year period ending on March 2, 2018 and to delete subparagraph (f) which previously permitted the Board of Directors to withdraw or limit the preemptive rights of shareholders for the defense of a takeover bid (the “Amendments”).
The Amendments became effective upon their registration with the commercial register of the Canton of Schaffhausen, Switzerland on March 3, 2016. The proposal to adopt the Amendments was previously disclosed in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 13, 2016.
