| Item 5.03 | Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year. |
On April 6, 2020, the Board of Directors of Snap-on Incorporated (the “Company”) amended Section 2.1 of the Company’s Bylaws to provide that a meeting of the Company’s shareholders may be held solely by means of remote communication (“virtual meeting”); conforming changes were made to Sections 2.6 and 2.8 of the Bylaws. The Board also approved the restatement of the Bylaws as so amended.
The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Bylaws, as amended and restated, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
| Item 8.01 | Other Events. |
On April 6, 2020, the Company announced that its 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, which is scheduled to be held on April 23, 2020, will be held in a virtual format only at 11:30 a.m. Central Time, via a live webcast, instead of an in-person meeting as originally planned. The Company has made these changes as a result of concerns due to the public health impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) and to support the health and well-being of the Company’s shareholders, associates, retirees and franchisees, as well as their families and communities. A copy of the Company’s press release announcing the change in meeting format is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
