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

On February 26, 2016, Nasdaq, Inc. (“Nasdaq”) amended its By-Laws, following prior approval by Nasdaq’s board of directors and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

The amendments relate to the director classification provisions of the By-Laws. Specifically, Nasdaq revised Section 4.3 of the By-Laws to state that it may, rather than shall, include at least one, but no more than two, “Issuer Directors” on its board. In addition, Nasdaq revised Section 4.7 of the By-Laws to clarify the procedures when a director’s classification changes between annual meetings of stockholders.

The text of the By-Laws is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 3.2 and incorporated herein by reference.
