ITEM 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
Amendment of Bylaws—Reduction in Board Size and Other Board Matters
Background. After the close of business on July 1, 2022, in accordance with Section 3.17(b) of the Bylaws of First Horizon Corporation ("First Horizon"), Daryl G. Byrd retired from his position as Executive Chairman of the Board and as a director, and D. Bryan Jordan became Chairman of the Board. These events were reported previously in First Horizon's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 10, 2022. In addition, on July 26, 2022, in accordance with applicable banking regulations, First Horizon's Board split its Executive & Risk Committee into an Executive Committee and a separate Risk Committee.
Bylaw Amendments. On July 26, 2022, following Mr. Byrd's retirement and the Committee changes noted above, the Board of Directors unanimously approved these amendments to the Bylaws, in each case effective immediately:
Section 3.2: The size of the Board is reduced from 17 to 16 members.
Section 3.17(c)(i): The reference to the Board's size is modified to encompass possible changes after July, 2020, including the change in size mentioned above.
Section 3.17(c)(i): An express provision is added allowing a 75% majority of the entire Board to select a Lead Director from among all the independent directors, and to select a Chair of the Executive & Risk Committee from among all the directors (or, commencing July 26, 2022, to select a Chair of the Executive Committee from among all the directors and a Chair of the Risk Committee from among all the directors).
ITEM 8.01. Other Events
On July 26, 2022, First Horizon's Board of Directors unanimously selected Colin V. Reed to remain Lead Director, and unanimously selected William H.
