Explanatory Note

Navistar International Corporation (the “Company’) is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K/A to correct a typographical error made in the disclosure in Item 5.07, Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders, in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 21, 2012 (the “Original Filing”), which inadvertently referred to the results of voting on Proposal 1 as “the results of voting for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock” instead of “the results of voting for the approval of an amendment to the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation to declassify the Board of Directors”. No other changes have been made to the Original Filing.

ITEM 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

As described in Item 5.07 of this Current Report, at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Navistar International Corporation (the “Company”) held on February 21, 2012, upon the recommendation of the Board of Directors, the stockholders voted on and approved an amendment to the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation to declassify the Board of Directors. This declassification was effected pursuant to a Certificate of Amendment (the “Certificate of Amendment”), filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on February 21, 2012. A copy of the Certificate of Amendment is attached as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and is incorporated into this Item 5.03 by reference.

On February 20, 2012, upon the recommendation of the Nominations and Governance Committee, the Board approved certain amendments to the Company’s Amended and Restated By-Laws (the “By-Laws”), effective immediately. Apart from non-substantive conforming changes and other technical and cross-reference edits, the By-Laws were amended in the manner summarized below.

 

  • Article I, Section 4 (Notice of Meetings) . Article I, Section 4 has been revised to provide that notice of annual and special meetings shall be given to each stockholder of record by the Company not less than ten nor more than sixty days before the date such annual or special meeting is to be held.

 

  • Article I, Section 7 (Conduct of Meetings). Article I, Section 7 has been revised to provide the chair of each meeting of stockholders with the sole right and authority to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures, in the judgment of the chair, as are appropriate for the conduct of the meeting.

 

  • Article I, Section 8 (Notice of Stockholder Nomination of Directors) and Section 9 (Notice of Stockholder Proposals of Business). Article I, Sections 8 and 9 have been revised to provide:

 

  • additional detail regarding the information required in the notice by a stockholder nominating a candidate for election to the Board of Directors or proposing business for consideration at any annual meeting of stockholders, and requirements that a stockholder nominating or proposing business supplement such information at certain times;

 

  • that notice to the Company of a stockholder’s nomination for election to the Board of Directors or proposing business for consideration at any annual meeting of stockholders must be received not more than 150 days, and not less than 120 days, in advance of the first anniversary of the prior year’s annual meeting of stockholders;

 

  • a revised definition of “Stockholder Associated Person” to include the beneficial owner of shares held by a stockholder and to clarify applicability to entity stockholders;

 

  • stockholders making nominations for election to the Board of Directors or proposing business for consideration at an annual meeting of stockholders must still be a stockholder of record and be present at the time of the annual meeting of stockholders;

 

  • Article I, Section 10 (Voting).

  • Article II, Section 4 (Nominee Documents). A new section has been added as Article II, Section 4. This new section provides that, to be eligible to be a nominee for election or reelection as a director, a person must timely deliver to the Company (i) a signed statement that he or she consents to being named a nominee and to serve as a director if elected, (ii) a questionnaire with respect to the background and qualifications of such person and any other person or entity on whose behalf the nomination was made, and (iii) a written representation and agreement that provides, among other things, assurances that such person’s economic, voting and other interests are consistent with the corporate governance policies of the Company and consistent with such person’s fiduciary duties under applicable law.

 

  • Article II, Section 7 (Vacancies). Article II, Section 7 has been revised to provide that in the case of any vacancy on the Board of Directors or newly created director seat, a director may be elected to fill the vacancy only by a majority of the directors of the Company then in office though less than a quorum.

Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Company’s By-Laws, as amended and restated as of February 20, 2012. The foregoing description does not purport to describe all changes to the By-Laws effected by the amendment and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Company’s By-Laws, as amended and restated as of February 20, 2012, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.2 and incorporated herein by reference.
