The Board of Directors of FMC Corporation (“Company”) has elected K'Lynne Johnson a director of the Company effective September 23, 2013. No Committee assignment has yet been made. Ms. Johnson will be entitled to be compensated for her service as a director under our Non-Employee Directors Compensation Policy, as previously described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. A copy of the press release announcing these events is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

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

On September 23, 2013, the Company's Restated By-laws were amended (the “Amendment”) in order to effectuate the proposal adopted by stockholders at the 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of FMC Corporation to eliminate the classification of the Board of Directors. The Amendment provides that Section 7 of Article IV of the By-Laws shall be amended by deleting Section 7 in its entirety and replacing it with the following:1 

“SECTION 7.     Vacancies on Board. Vacancies on the Board of Directors may be filled by a majority of the Directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining Director. At any special meeting of stockholders called for the purpose of removing Directors pursuant to Section 3 of this Article IV, the vacancy or vacancies on the Board caused by such removal may be filled by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in interest of the stockholders entitled to vote. Any Director elected to fill a vacancy resulting from an increase in the number of Directors shall hold office for a term that shall coincide with the remaining term of the class of Directors to which he is elected [until the next election of directors, and until his successor has been selected and qualified or until his earlier death, resignation or removal]. A Director elected to fill a vacancy not resulting from an increase in the number of Directors shall have the same remaining term as that of his predecessor. The Board of Directors shall not fill a Director vacancy or newly created Directorship with any candidate who has not agreed to tender, promptly following his or her appointment to the Board of Directors, the same form of resignation as is described under Section 4 of this Article.”
