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

On May 1, 2024, the BRC Inc. (the “Company”) filed a certificate of amendment (the “Amendment”) to its amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Amendment amends Article VIII, Section 8.1 of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to limit the liability of officers, as permitted under Section 102(b)(7) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) as further described below.

The Amendment amends the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to limit the liability of directors and officers for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, except to the extent such limitation on liability is not permitted under the DGCL as presently in effect or as amended in the future. The Amendment permits exculpation of certain officers in connection with direct claims brought by stockholders. The Amendment does not exculpate officers from liability for breach of the duty of loyalty, acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, or any transaction in which the officer derived an improper personal benefit. The Amendment does not exculpate officers from liability for claims brought by or in the right of the Company, such as derivative claims, nor for any act or omission occurring prior to May 1, 2024, the date on which the Amendment became effective.

The foregoing description of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment filed as Exhibit 3.1 hereto, which is incorporated herein by reference.
