Item 5.03
Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
At the 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Jacobs Solutions Inc. ("the Company") held on January 24, 2024
("Annual Meeting"), the Company's shareholders approved (i) the amendment of the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Company Charter") to provide for senior officer exculpation (the "Officer Exculpation Amendment") and (ii) the amendment of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "JEGI Charter") of Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. ("JEGI"), to remove a pass-through voting provision that requires the vote of the shareholders of the Company, in addition to the vote of the Company, as JEGI's sole shareholder, in order for JEGI to take certain actions (the "Pass-Through Voting Provision"). In connection therewith, on January 26, 2024, (i) the Company filed a certificate of amendment to the Company Charter with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the "Secretary of State") to adopt the Officer Exculpation Amendment (the "Company Certificate of Amendment") and (ii) JEGI filed a certificate of amendment to the JEGI Charter with the Secretary of State to remove the Pass-Through Voting Provision (the "JEGI Certificate of Amendment").
The foregoing descriptions of the Company Certificate of Amendment and the JEGI Certificate of Amendment do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, the full text of the Company Certificate of Amendment and the JEGI Certificate of Amendment, which are filed as Exhibit 3.1 and Exhibit 3.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and each of which is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.07
Submission of Matter to a Vote of Security Holders
As described above, the Company held its Annual Meeting on
January 24, 2024. At the Annual Meeting, shareholders (i) elected thirteen directors to serve on the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") until the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders
(ii)
approved, on an advisory basis, the Company's executive compensation; (iii) approved the amendment of the Company Charter to adopt the Officer Exculpation Amendment; (iv) approved the amendment of the JEGI Charter to remove the Pass-Through Voting Provision; and (v) ratified the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending September 27, 2024. For the advisory shareholder proposal requesting that the Board take all actions needed to adopt the same simple majority voting standard throughout the Company's organizational documents (the "Advisory Proposal"), neither the proponent of the proposal nor his authorized representative attended the Annual Meeting to properly present the proposal, as required by Rule 14a-8(h) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Accordingly, the proposal was not considered or voted on at the Annual Meeting.
The total number of shares of the Company's common stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting was 126,316,478, of which 108,600,210 shares, or 85.97%, were present in person, via the virtual meeting platform, or by proxy, constituting a quorum.
