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

Effective June 14, 2019, FLEETCOR Technologies, Inc. ("FLEETCOR" or the "Company") amended Article SIXTH of its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Charter"). The amendment modifies Article SIXTH of the Charter to phase out our Board’s classified structure. At the annual meeting of stockholders held in 2020, the directors whose terms expire in 2020 shall stand for election to hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders held in 2021; at the annual meeting of stockholders held in 2021, the directors whose terms expire in 2021 shall stand for election to hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders held in 2022; and at the annual meeting of stockholders held in 2022 and at each annual meeting of stockholders thereafter, each director shall be elected for a term expiring at the next succeeding annual meeting of stockholders and until such director’s successor shall have been elected. Consistent with Delaware law for corporations having classified boards, the Charter currently provides that directors may be removed from office only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the total voting power of the outstanding shares of our capital stock entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class. The amendment provides that, except for directors who were elected prior to our 2020 annual meeting, and any director appointed by the Board to replace any such director, directors may be removed with or without cause by the required stockholder vote. Directors who were elected prior to our 2020 annual meeting, and any director appointed by the Board to replace any such director, would continue to be removable only for cause. The Charter amendment was approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders held on June 12, 2019.

The foregoing description does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the full text of the Charter Amendment, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated by reference.
