CenterPoint Energy, Inc. amended and restated its bylaws effective September 25, 2025. The Board made these changes in connection with updates to the Texas Business Organizations Code and its periodic corporate governance review.
The revisions add a new section providing for a jury trial waiver for internal entity claims and update the exclusive forum provision so that, if the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas lacks jurisdiction, the Eleventh Business Court Division of the Texas Business Court in Harris County, Texas will be the sole forum for certain internal entity claims, unless the company consents to another forum.
The bylaws now require any shareholder or group to hold at least three percent of outstanding common stock to institute or maintain a derivative proceeding. The Board also raised the director retirement age from 73 to 75 and broadened the definition of “Shareholder Associated Person,” while making additional administrative, modernizing, clarifying, and conforming changes.
