Peabody Energy Corporation amended and restated its by-laws, effective October 14, 2025. The updates refine how stockholders nominate directors and submit proposals, including a new requirement that any nominee make themselves available for a Board interview.

The revisions also address disclosure and notice requirements for matters raised at special meetings and clarify that the Board may submit proposals at such meetings. The by-laws establish procedures for organizing and conducting stockholder meetings, with the Chairman of the Board serving as meeting chair, and add a severability provision. The company characterizes the changes as clarifications, updates, and other non‑substantive revisions.
