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

On and effective as of March 31, 2017, FirstEnergy Corp., in its capacity as the sole shareholder of FirstEnergy Solutions Corp. (“FES”), approved certain amendments to FES’ Amended and Restated Code of Regulations (“Code”), described below.

Section 14 of Article III of the Code was added, which permits the Board of Directors of FES (the “Board”) to create an executive committee or any other committee of directors to act between meetings of the Board and to delegate certain authority to a committee. Any such committee shall consist of two or more directors.

Additionally, Section 13 of Article III of the Code was amended to provide that contracts, actions and transactions in which a director has a relationship or interest that has been disclosed to the Board may be approved by a majority of the other directors without a relationship or interest in the applicable action, even when such directors constitute less than a quorum of the Board. Section 13 also now provides for approval of such contracts, actions and transactions by a majority vote of shares held by shareholders without a relationship or interest in the contract, action or transaction when such director’s relationship or interest has been disclosed.

The foregoing description of the amendments to the Code is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Code as amended and restated as of March 31, 2017, which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
