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

On March 7, 2024, the Board of Directors of Acorda Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) adopted amendments to the Company’s Bylaws (the “Amended and Restated Bylaws”), which became effective immediately. The Amended and Restated Bylaws enhance disclosure and procedural requirements for the nomination of directors by stockholders, including to require compliance with the notice and solicitation requirements of Rule 14a-19 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The amendments also update various provisions of the Bylaws to reflect recent amendments to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, including the elimination of a provision requiring that a list of stockholders be available for inspection during meetings of stockholders and certain changes to the manner in which meetings of stockholders may be adjourned. The amendments also include a number of clerical and conforming changes.

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