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

At the Fortune Brands Innovations, Inc. (the “Company”) 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 5, 2026 (the "Annual Meeting"), the Company’s stockholders approved two separate proposals to amend the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as described in Proposals 4 and 5 of the Company's definitive Proxy Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2026 (the "Proxy Statement"), and which had previously been approved by the Company’s Board of Directors subject to stockholder approval. On May 6, 2026, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the form of which was included as Appendix B to the Company's definitive Proxy Statement. Our Board also approved a corresponding amendment to the Bylaws to eliminate the supermajority vote requirement for shareholders to amend the Bylaws and replaced that provision with the default voting standard under the Delaware General Corporation Law, which became effective on May 6, 2026.

A copy of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is filed as Exhibit 3.1 and a copy of the Amended and Restated Bylaws is filed as Exhibit 3.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and each are incorporated by reference in this Item 5.03.

Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

The voting results for each of these proposals were as follows:

Proposal 1: The election of three Class III director nominees for a three-year term expiring at the 2029 Annual Meeting of Stockholders

* In addition, there were 36,935 shares present, represented by proxy and entitled to vote on this proposal for which no voting directions were indicated.
