Item 5.03 | Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

As described in Item 5.07 below, on May 4, 2016, Tredegar Corporation (“Tredegar”) held its Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Meeting”). At the Meeting, Tredegar’s shareholders approved a proposal to amend Tredegar’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, to declassify Tredegar’s Board of Directors (the “Amendment”). Under the Amendment, the director nominees elected at the Meeting will serve for terms expiring at the 2017 annual meeting of shareholders, but continuing directors’ terms will not be shortened. At the 2017 annual meeting of shareholders, director nominees will be elected for terms expiring at the 2018 annual meeting of shareholders. Beginning with the 2018 annual meeting of shareholders, all directors will be elected for one-year terms expiring at the next succeeding annual meeting of shareholders. Additional details of the Amendment are included in Tredegar’s definitive proxy statement for the Meeting filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2016.
The Amendment was filed with the State Corporation Commission of the Commonwealth of Virginia (the “SCC”) on May 4, 2016, and became effective upon the issuance of a certificate of amendment by the SCC on May 4, 2016. A copy of the Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
