Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year
On November 5, 2008, the Board of Directors of Equifax Inc. (the “Company”) amended the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”), effective immediately. As a result of the amendments, in Section 2.14 the title of Lead Director was changed to Presiding Director, to better characterize the role and further clarify that the Presiding Director does not assume any additional fiduciary obligations or liabilities beyond those of any other director, for agreeing to serve in this position. In addition, Section 3.5 was amended to clarify that either the Chairman of the Board or the Presiding Director can be elected by the non-management members of the Board of Directors to serve as chairman of the Executive Committee of the Board.
Certain conforming Bylaw amendments to Sections 1.2, 1.8, 2.8, 4.3, 4.4 were also adopted to reflect the change in title from Lead Director to Presiding Director. The foregoing summary of the changes effected by the Bylaw amendments is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended November 5, 2008, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
