Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
(a) Effective October 14, 2015, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of The ADT Corporation (the “Company”) approved an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated by-laws (the “By-laws”), to amend Article VIII, Section 8.03 of such By-laws to provide that the Company’s fiscal year may be fixed by the Board. Section 8.03 previously stated that the Company’s fiscal year ended on the last Friday in September of each year, or such other twelve consecutive months as designated by the Board.
The foregoing description of the amendment to the Company’s By-laws is qualified in all respects by reference to the text of the Amended and Restated By-laws, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
(b) On October 14, 2015, the Board of the Company approved a change to the Company’s fiscal year end from the last Friday in September to September 30 of each year, and thereafter the end of each fiscal quarter will be the last day of the calendar month end. The fiscal year change is effective beginning with the Company’s 2016 fiscal year, which began on September 26, 2015, the day after the last day of the Company’s 2015 fiscal year, and will end on September 30, 2016. There will be no transition period resulting from this change, and no separate transition report is required.
