Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On December 9, 2025, the Board of Directors of QUALCOMM Incorporated (the “Company”) approved the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company (the “Amended and Restated Bylaws”), which became effective the same day. The Amended and Restated Bylaws enable stockholders with at least 25% net long ownership of the Company’s outstanding common stock to call a special meeting of stockholders. To call a special meeting, the required net long ownership interest must have been held continuously for at least one year prior to the date of the special meeting request. The right to call a special meeting is also subject to informational, timing and other requirements intended to ensure that stockholders receive adequate information in connection with a special meeting and to avoid the unnecessary use of resources that would result from holding multiple stockholder meetings in a short time period.
Additional amendments were made to make clarifying or conforming language changes, in addition to technical or ministerial changes. The foregoing description of the Amended and Restated Bylaws is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended and Restated Bylaws, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 3.2 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.
