Item 5.03Amendments to Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

CareFusion Corporation (the “Company”) held its annual meeting of stockholders on November 6, 2013 (the “Annual Meeting”). At the Annual Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved resolutions to amend the Company’s existing Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (“Certificate”) and its existing Amended and Restated By-laws (“By-laws”).  The Company’s stockholders approved: (i) amendments to the Certificate and By-laws to repeal the classified Board and phase-in annual director elections over a three-year period; (ii) an amendment to the By-laws to replace the plurality voting standard with a majority voting standard for uncontested elections of directors; and (iii) amendments to the Certificate and By-laws to lower the supermajority voting thresholds contained therein from 80% to 66 2/3%. Detailed descriptions of the amendments to the Certificate and By-laws are contained in the definitive proxy statement for the Annual Meeting, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 26, 2013.

The Board previously approved the amendments to the Certificate and By-laws, subject to and conditioned upon stockholder approval at the Annual Meeting. Following stockholder approval of the amendments to the Certificate and By-laws at the Annual Meeting, the Company prepared an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and an Amended and Restated By-Laws to reflect the amendments. Each of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the Amended and Restated By-Laws are effective as of November 6, 2013. Copies of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the Amended and Restated By-Laws are attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and Exhibit 3.2, respectively.

The descriptions of the amendments to the Certificate and By-Laws contained herein are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the Amended and Restated By-Laws attached hereto and incorporated by reference herein.
