Item 3.03.
Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders
The information set forth under Item 5.03 below is incorporated by reference in this Item 3.03.
Item 5.03.
Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
As previously disclosed, at its Annual Meeting of Stockholder ("Annual Meeting") on April 27, 2023,
the stockholders of TreeHouse, Inc. (the "Company"), upon the recommendation of the Board of Directors, approved amendments to the Company's certificate of incorporation (the "Charter Amendments") to  declassify the Company's Board of Directors and phase in annual director elections over a period of three years, so that beginning with the Company's 2026 annual meeting of stockholders, the declassification of the Board of Directors will be complete and all directors will be subject to annual election for one-year terms. As a result, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment setting forth the Charter Amendments (the "Certificate of Amendment") with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on May 26, 2023. The Certificate of Amendment became effective upon filing. Following the filing of the Certificate of Amendment, the Company filed the Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Restated Certificate"), which restated and integrated, but did not further amend, the certificate of incorporation, with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on May 26, 2023. The Restated Certificate became effective upon filing.
In addition, the Board of Directors approved conforming amendments to the Company's by-laws (the "By-Law Amendments", and such by-laws, as amended and restated, the "Amended and Restated By-Laws"), subject to stockholder approval of the Charter Amendments and the filing and effectiveness of the Certificate of Amendment.  Accordingly, the By-Law Amendments took effect upon filing of the Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.
The foregoing summaries of the Charter Amendments and the By-Law Amendments do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to (i) the descriptions of the Charter Amendments and the By-Law Amendments set forth under the headings "Proposal Five: Approval of Amendments to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation to Declassify the Board of Directors and Phase-in Annual Director Elections" of the Company's definitive proxy statement as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 13, 2023 and (ii) the Certificate of Amendment, the Restated Certificate and the Amended and Restated By-Laws, copies of which are attached as Exhibits 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.
