| Item 5.03 | Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year. |
On December 17, 2019, Party City Holdco Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Certificate of Correction to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “2015 Certificate of Correction”) filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on April 21, 2015 (the “Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”). The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation inadvertently did not include a provision limiting the liability of the directors of the Corporation for monetary damages pursuant to Section 102(b)(7) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware that was in the Company’s original certificate of incorporation. The 2015 Certificate of Correction corrects this error to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation by adding a provision limiting the liability of the directors of the Corporation for monetary damages. The corrections made by the 2015 Certificate of Correction are retroactively effective as of April 21, 2015, the original filing date of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. The foregoing description of the 2015 Certificate of Correction is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the 2015 Certificate of Correction attached as Exhibit 3.1 hereto.
On December 17, 2019, the Company also filed a Certificate of Correction to its Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “2019 Certificate of Correction”) filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on June 6, 2019 (the “Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”). The Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation inadvertently did not include a provision limiting the liability of the directors of the Corporation for monetary damages pursuant to Section 102(b)(7) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware that was in the Company’s original certificate of incorporation. The 2019 Certificate of Correction corrects this error to the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation by adding a provision limiting the liability of the directors of the Corporation for monetary damages. The corrections made by the 2019 Certificate of Correction are retroactively effective as of June 6, 2019, the original filing date of the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. The foregoing description of the 2019 Certificate of Correction is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the 2019 Certificate of Correction and the corrected Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation attached as Exhibit 3.2 hereto.
