Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year
Restatement of Comcast Corporation Articles of Incorporation
On February 17, 2005, the Board of Directors of Comcast Corporation (the “Company”) approved the restatement of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation (the “Articles”) effective as of June 1, 2005. The Restated Articles of Incorporation was filed with the Pennsylvania Department of State on June 1, 2005 and restates without change all of the operative provisions of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as previously amended and restated. The purpose of the restatement was to remove certain inoperative provisions of the Articles by: (i) eliminating obsolete defined terms and (ii) eliminating certain corporate governance provisions in Article SIXTH of the Articles that were originally added to the Articles in connection with Company’s acquisition of AT&T Corp.’s broadband business in 2002 and that have since become inoperative due to the occurrence of specified events or the passage of time. No shareholder vote was required for this restatement under Pennsylvania law. The form of the Restated Articles of Incorporation is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 3.1.
