Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On February 12, 2024, SeaWorld Entertainment, Inc. changed its corporate name to United Parks & Resorts Inc. (the “Company”), pursuant to a Certificate of Amendment of Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Amendment”) filed with the Delaware Secretary of State (the “Name Change”). Pursuant to Delaware law, a stockholder vote was not necessary to effectuate the Name Change, and the Name Change does not affect the rights of the Company’s stockholders. As part of the Name Change, the Company’s ticker symbol on the New York Stock Exchange changed from “SEAS” to “PRKS” beginning on February 13, 2024.
The only change to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation was to change the Company’s corporate name from SeaWorld Entertainment, Inc. to United Parks & Resorts Inc. A copy of the Certificate of Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
In addition, on February 12, 2024, the Company amended and restated the Company’s Bylaws (as so amended and restated, the “Bylaws”) to reflect the Name Change. Additional amendments made to the Bylaws provide, among other things, that:
The Bylaws also include certain other technical, clarifying and conforming changes.
The foregoing summary of amendments to the Bylaws is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Bylaws, which are attached hereto as Exhibit 3.2 and are incorporated herein by reference.
