Item 5.03. | Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year. |
In connection with the two-for-one stock split of the common stock of PPG Industries, Inc. (the “Company”), effected in the form of a 100% stock dividend paid on June 12, 2015, the Board of Directors of the Company approved an Amendment to the Company’s Restated Articles of Incorporation (the “Articles of Incorporation”). As authorized by Pennsylvania law, the Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation increased the number of shares of authorized common stock of the Company in the same proportion by which the number of shares distributed in the stock dividend increased the number of shares of issued common stock (which doubled the number of shares of authorized common stock). The Amendment increased the number of shares of common stock authorized under the Articles of Incorporation to 1,200,000,000 shares, and increased the total number of shares authorized in the Articles of Incorporation to 1,210,000,000 shares (which includes, in the aggregate, the authorized shares of common stock and 10,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock). The number of shares of authorized preferred stock did not change as a result of the Amendment.
The Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation, which was effective on June 12, 2015, is filed as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 7.01. | Regulation FD Disclosure. |

The Company completed a two-for-one stock split of its common stock, effected in the form of a 100% stock dividend, which was paid on June 12, 2015.
