Effective May 19, 2023, the Board of Trustees of LXP Industrial Trust, or the Trust, enhanced its governance procedures by adopting the Third Amended and Restated By-Laws of the Trust, which are referred to herein as the “Amended By-Laws”. The Amended By-Laws remove the requirement under Section 1.11(a) that any shareholder proponent submitting a nomination or proposal of other business at a meeting of shareholders of the Company include in such submission information describing (i) whether or not there are any plans or proposals on the part of the shareholder proponent or any related person to nominate directors at any other public company within the next 12 months; or (ii) any proposals for business or nominations formally submitted for consideration at a meeting of shareholders, or by written or electronic consent, on behalf of any shareholder proponent or any related person seeking to nominate trustees at any other public company within the past 36 months (whether or not such proposal or nomination was publicly disclosed). In addition, the definition of "Covered Person" was amended in Section 1.15 of the Amended By-Laws to remove the requirement to provide information about passive investors in a shareholder proponent that is an entity.
This description of the Amended By-Laws is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Amended By-Laws, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
