Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year
On and effective as of June 27, 2025, The Marzetti Company (the “Company”) filed a certificate of amendment amending and restating the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the “Second Amended and Restated Articles”), with the Secretary of State of the State of Ohio to change its name from “Lancaster Colony Corporation” to “The Marzetti Company” (the “Name Change”). Pursuant to Ohio law, a shareholder vote was not necessary to effectuate the Name Change.
The Company also amended and restated its Amended and Restated Regulations (the “Second Amended and Restated Regulations”) to reflect the Name Change, effective as of June 27, 2025.
In connection with the Name Change, the Company’s common stock, no par value per share, is scheduled to begin trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the new symbol “MZTI” when the market opens on July 1, 2025.
The Name Change does not affect the rights of the Company’s security holders and there were no other changes to the Second Amended and Restated Articles or the Second Amended and Restated Regulations. The CUSIP number for the Company’s common stock will remain 513847103. Following the Name Change, any stock certificates that reflect the former name of the Company will continue to be valid.
The foregoing descriptions of the Second Amended and Restated Articles and the Second Amended and Restated Regulations are qualified in their entirety by reference to copies of the full text of the Second Amended and Restated Articles and Second Amended and Restated Regulations, respectively, which are attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and Exhibit 3.2 and are incorporated herein by reference.
