Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On March 11, 2010, the Board of Directors of AGCO Corporation (the “Company”) amended Article II of
the Company’s Amended and Restated By-Laws, effective as of March 11, 2010, to declassify the Board
and to provide for annual elections of directors. The directors who have been elected to three-year
terms under the classified structure prior to the effectiveness of the amendment will complete
those terms, but, thereafter, they will be subject to annual elections. Beginning with the 2012
annual meeting of stockholders, the entire Board will be elected annually to serve for one-year
terms or until their successors have been duly elected and qualified.
The full text of the Amended and Restated By-laws of the Company, amended as described above, is
filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by this reference.
