Summary
TE Connectivity plc (TEL) filed an 8-K on March 20, 2023, detailing significant updates approved by shareholders at their Annual General Meeting (AGM) on March 15, 2023. The primary focus of this filing is the formalization of a share capital reduction and an amendment to the company's Articles of Association. These changes reflect the cancellation of over 8.3 million shares repurchased under the company's share repurchase program and a corresponding reduction in share capital.

The share capital reduction and the amendment to the capital band provision, which extends for one year post-AGM, became effective upon registration with the Commercial Registry on March 16, 2023. The filing also includes the amended and restated Articles of Association as an exhibit.
