On December 15, 2022, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Autodesk, Inc. (the “Company”) amended and restated the Company’s Bylaws, effective immediately.

The foregoing description of the amendment and restatement of the Bylaws is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the amended and restated Bylaws, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
