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

On June 6, 2013, at the annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of Live Nation Entertainment, Inc. (the “Company”), the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate”), which Amendment was filed with the Delaware Secretary of State on June 6, 2013. The Amendment made changes to Article VI of the Certificate that (i) eliminated the Company’s classified board of directors such that going forward, all directors will stand for election annually for a one-year term, (ii) removed a provision stating that directors may be removed only “for cause” and (iii) made other conforming changes to implement the non-classified board of directors.

The foregoing summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.

On June 6, 2013, upon the filing of the Amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State, the Fifth Amended and Restated Bylaws of Live Nation Entertainment, Inc. (the “Bylaws”) became effective, as previously-approved by the Company’s board of directors subject to the filing of the Amendment. The changes reflected in the Bylaws were to (i) make changes substantially identical to those set forth in the Amendment in order to de-classify the board of directors and (ii) eliminate all references to the office of “Executive Chairman,” as the Company no longer has such a role.

The foregoing summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Bylaws, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.
