On April 22, 2011, the Board of Directors of Alabama Power Company (the "Company") amended the Company's By-Laws (the "Amended Bylaws"). The Amended By-Laws changed the eligibility requirements for directors. The Amended By-Laws provide that the eligibility requirements for re-election related to changes to business or professional organization, occupation or executive position and principal residence will be evaluated as of when the director was most recently elected instead of when the director was first elected. Additionally, certain references to the Alabama Code in Article IV, Section 14 were updated to reflect revisions to the Alabama Business Corporation Law. The Amended By-Laws became effective on April 22, 2011.
The paragraph above contains only a summary description of the Amended By-Laws and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended By-Laws, which is attached as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
