Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On September 13, 2022, the Board of Directors of Philip Morris International
Inc. (the "Company") approved and adopted amended and restated bylaws (the
"Amended and Restated Bylaws"), which became effective the same day. Among other
things, the amendments effected by the Amended and Restated Bylaws require any
shareholder submitting a nomination notice to make a representation as to
whether such shareholder intends to solicit proxies in support of director
nominees other than the Company's nominees in accordance with Rule 14a-19 under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and to provide reasonable
evidence, on request of the Company, that certain requirements of such rule have
been satisfied, as well as incorporating other technical changes in light of the
universal proxy rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The
Amended and Restated Bylaws also update and clarify certain aspects of the
appointment, removal, and resignation of the Company's officers and make
ministerial, clarifying, and conforming changes.
The foregoing description is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the full text of the Amended and Restated Bylaws, a copy of which
is attached as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.
