As discussed in Item 5.07 below, at the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Quanta Services, Inc. (the “Company” or “Quanta”) held on May 24, 2024, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”) to provide for the exculpation of certain officers from liability in connection with certain claims brought by stockholders to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “Charter Amendment”). A more detailed description of the Charter Amendment is provided in Proposal 4: Approval of an Amendment to Quanta’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation to Provide for the Exculpation of Officers of the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A for the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 12, 2024 (the “2024 Proxy Statement”), which description and text are incorporated herein by reference. The Charter Amendment had been previously approved by the Company’s Board of Directors.

On May 30, 2024, the Company filed the Charter Amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State, which became effective upon filing. The foregoing summary and the summary set forth in the 2024 Proxy Statement are qualified by reference to the full text of the Charter Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

On May 30, 2024, the Company also filed a restatement of the Charter with the Delaware Secretary of State (the “Restated Charter”), which became effective upon filing and only restates the Charter and integrates the Charter Amendment. The foregoing is qualified by reference to the full text of the Restated Charter, which is filed as Exhibit 3.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
