EQUIFAX INC 8-K

What Happened
Equifax Inc. announced on June 16, 2026 that its Board approved amendments to the company's Amended and Restated Bylaws, effective immediately. The primary change revises who may request a special meeting of shareholders: the Secretary may call a special meeting upon the proper request of one or more shareholders owning at least 25% of the voting power of all issued and outstanding shares who have held that ownership for at least one year as of the request. The amendments also include other ministerial clarifications and updates.

Key Details

• Effective date: June 16, 2026 (approved by the Board and effective immediately).
• New threshold: shareholders must own at least 25% of voting power of all issued and outstanding shares.
• Holding requirement: the requisite shares must have been held for at least one year as of the request date.
• Other changes: ministerial clarifications and updates to procedural requirements for special-meeting requests; amended bylaws filed as Exhibit 3.1 to the 8-K.

Why It Matters
This bylaw change raises the ownership threshold required to force a special shareholder meeting, meaning only large, long‑term holders (25%+ for one year) can compel such meetings. For investors, that can reduce the likelihood of special meetings initiated by smaller or shorter‑term activist groups and centralizes control of when special meetings occur. The amendment is a governance change that may affect shareholder engagement and the ability of minority holders to pursue extraordinary actions outside annual meetings.
