Summary
Public Storage (PSA) filed an 8-K on November 13, 2023, primarily announcing the adoption of amended and restated bylaws, effective November 8, 2023. These amendments refine procedural mechanics and disclosure requirements related to shareholder nominations and proposals for annual and special meetings.
