Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year
On April 26, 2010, a company proposal to amend the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of Honeywell International Inc. (“Honeywell”) to lower the minimum ownership threshold for shareowners to be able to call special meetings to twenty percent of the outstanding shares of Honeywell’s Common Stock (excluding derivatives) was considered at the 2010 Annual Meeting of Shareowners and was approved by the holders of the majority of the outstanding shares. The amended text is contained in the sixth paragraph of Article EIGHTH of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3(i).
A corresponding By-law amendment, which also sets forth related procedural requirements, was previously adopted by Honeywell’s Board of Directors and became effective upon shareowner approval of the amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. The amended text is contained in Section 3 of Article II of Honeywell’s By-laws, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3(ii).
