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

On July 24, 2024, the Board of Directors of BXP, Inc. (“BXP”), a Delaware corporation and the sole general partner of Boston Properties Limited Partnership, amended BXP’s Restated By-laws (the “By-laws”), effective as of such date. The amendments to the By-laws (as so amended, the “Amended and Restated By-laws”) make the following changes to the advance notice and stockholder nominee provisions of the By-laws (Sections 2.9, 2.11, 3.7 and 3.8):

•delete the requirement in Section 3.8(d) that a person nominated by a stockholder or a group of stockholders for election to BXP’s Board of Directors deliver an irrevocable resignation letter, which would become effective upon a determination by BXP’s Board or a committee thereof that information provided by the nominee was untrue in any material respect or omitted material information;

•revise certain disclosure and procedural requirements for stockholders proposing business or director nominations for consideration at an annual meeting of stockholders to clarify that the obligations imposed on stockholder-proponents under Section 2.9 and Section 3.7 to provide information regarding certain persons known by such proponent to support the business or nomination extend only to other BXP stockholders and beneficial owners of BXP common stock known by the stockholder-proponent to be providing financial support or meaningful assistance in support of the stockholder-proponent’s proposal or nomination, as applicable;

•clarify that the power of the presiding officer of the annual meeting to determine whether a stockholder proposal or director nomination satisfies the terms of Section 2.9 or Section 3.7, as applicable, is subject in all cases to the direction, supervision and control of the BXP Board; and

•clarify that the authority granted under Section 2.11 to the presiding officer to adopt and enforce rules of procedure for the conduct of meetings of BXP stockholders is subject in all cases to the Board’s authority to make rules and regulations for the conduct of such meetings.

The foregoing description of the amendments to the By-laws is qualified in its entirety by reference to a copy of the Amended and Restated By-laws filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, which is incorporated by reference herein.
