Item 9B. Other Information

Amendment to PTC By-Laws

On November 14, 2024, in connection with a periodic review of corporate governance matters and certain recent changes to Securities and Exchange Commission rules and the Massachusetts Business Corporation Act (the “MBCA”), the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of PTC approved and adopted an amendment and restatement of the Company’s By-Laws (as so amended, the “Amended and Restated By-Laws”), which became effective upon approval. The Amended and Restated By-Laws amend and restate the By-Laws in their entirety to, among other things: (i) permit virtual only meetings of shareholders; (ii) revise the advance notice provisions of the By-Laws to expand the informational and other requirements for shareholder proponents and director nominees in connection with shareholder proposals and shareholder director nominations; (iii) address matters relating to Rule 14a-19 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; (iv) provide processes and procedures for shareholders seeking to call a special meeting of shareholders and obligations and rights of the Board with respect to such requests and the conduct of such meetings; (v) state how abstentions and broker non-votes are treated with respect to the determination of whether a quorum of shareholders exists and of the number of shares voting on a matter; (vi) provide that any shareholder soliciting proxies from other shareholders must use a proxy card color other than white, with the white proxy card being reserved for the exclusive use by the Board; (vii) provide that the Board may adopt such rules, regulations, and procedures as the Board may deem appropriate for the conduct of any meeting of shareholders; (viii) clarify and confirm that the Board, except as otherwise provided by law, and to the extent permitted by law, may limit its exercise of the powers of the corporation pursuant to an agreement approved by the Board; (ix) provide that removal of a director may occur only at a meeting called for the purpose of removing such director, the meeting notice for which must state that the purpose or a purpose of the meeting is the removal of the director; and (x) make various updates throughout to conform to the MBCA and to make ministerial changes, clarifications, and other conforming revisions.

The foregoing description of the Amended and Restated By-Laws does not purport to be complete and is qualified by reference to the full Amended and Restated By-Laws, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.2 to this Form 10-K and incorporated herein by reference.
