Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year. |
On April 22, 2008, the Board of Directors of VF Corporation (“VF”) amended VF’s Articles of
Incorporation to eliminate the Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock had been
designated by the Board of Directors for the purpose of implementing VF’s Rights Agreement dated as
of October 22, 1997, as amended (the “Rights Plan”). The Rights Plan expired by its own terms in
January 2008, and, because there is no further need for the Series A Preferred Stock, the Board
amended VF’s Articles to eliminate the Series A Preferred Stock.
