Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On June 12, 2024, Prime Medicine, Inc. (the “Company”) held its 2024 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) in a virtual meeting format via live webcast. As further described in Item 5.07 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, at the Annual Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Amendment”) to limit the liability of certain officers of the Company as permitted by Delaware law, as detailed in the Company’s definitive proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) filed on April 29, 2024 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission under Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Certificate of Amendment was previously approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, subject to approval by the Company’s stockholders.
On June 12, 2024, the Company filed the Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and the Certificate of Amendment became effective upon filing.
The foregoing description of the Certificate of Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Certificate of Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

The number of shares of Common Stock present in person or by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by valid proxy at the Annual Meeting was 107,063,267, thus establishing a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. Shares present virtually during the Annual Meeting were considered shares of Common Stock represented in person at the Annual Meeting. Each share of Common Stock was entitled to one vote with respect to matters submitted to the Company’s stockholders at the Annual Meeting.
At the Annual Meeting, the Company’s stockholders voted on the following matters, all of which were described in the Proxy Statement: (i) to elect Wendy Chung, M.D., Ph.D., Kaye Foster, Keith Gottesdiener, M.D., and Jeffrey Marrazzo as Class II Directors, each to serve until the Company’s 2027 annual meeting of stockholders, and until his or her respective successor shall have been duly elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal (“Proposal 1”), (ii) to approve the Certificate of Amendment to limit the liability of certain of the Company’s officers as permitted by Delaware law (“Proposal 2”), and (iii) to ratify the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 (“Proposal 3”).
