Amendment and Restatement of By-Laws

On January 31, 2023, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of United States Steel Corporation (the “Corporation”) amended and restated the Corporation’s By-Laws (as amended and restated, the “Amended and Restated By-Laws”), effective immediately, to, among other things, update provisions relating to procedural and disclosure requirements for stockholder director nominations to address the universal proxy rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, as set forth in Rule 14a-19 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Universal Proxy Card Rules”). The amendments require that nominating stockholders comply with the Universal Proxy Card Rules, provide that a stockholder nominee’s director candidates will be disregarded by the Corporation if the nominating stockholder has failed to provide evidence of its compliance with the Universal Proxy Card Rules and address the color of proxy cards reserved for use by the Corporation. The Board also made various conforming, technical and non-substantive changes.

The summary of the Amended and Restated By-Laws included in this Current Report on Form 8-K is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Corporation’s Amended and Restated By-Laws, as amended on January 31, 2023, which are attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and are incorporated herein by reference.
