Item 5.03

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

(a) On October 4, 2024, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of General Motors Company (the “Company”) approved amendments to the Company’s Bylaws (the “Amended and Restated Bylaws”), which became effective immediately. The Amended and Restated Bylaws were amended to remove the requirement that a director nominated by a shareholder pursuant to the proxy access provisions of the Company’s Bylaws (such director, a “shareholder nominee”) must provide an irrevocable resignation letter that would become effective upon a determination by the Board (or any committee thereof) that (i) the information provided to the Company with respect to such shareholder nominee was untrue in any material respect or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made not misleading, or (ii) such shareholder nominee (or shareholder who nominated such shareholder nominee) failed to comply with any obligation owed to or breached any representation made under or pursuant to the Bylaws. The Amended and Restated Bylaws also include certain administrative and clarifying updates.

The foregoing description of the amendments to the Amended and Restated Bylaws are qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Amended and Restated Bylaws. The Amended and Restated Bylaws, along with a copy marked to show changes from the prior version, are included as Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.
