Item 5.03.
Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or By-laws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On January 25, 2017, the Board of Directors of SJW Group (the "Company") adopted and approved, effective immediately, the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company to implement a majority vote standard for uncontested election of directors at the Company’s stockholder meetings. Under the Amended and Restated Bylaws, a director nominee will be elected only if the number of shares voted “for” the nominee exceeds the number of shares voted “against” the nominee. Any incumbent director who does not receive the required majority votes must promptly submit his or her resignation to the Board. Within 90 days after the date of the meeting of stockholders, the Nominating & Governance Committee of the Board must make a recommendation to the Board as to whether to accept or reject the resignation. In the case of any future contested elections of directors, directors will continue to be elected by a plurality of the votes cast.

The provisions in the Amended and Restated Bylaws will be applicable to the Company’s 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The foregoing description of the Amended and Restated Bylaws is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended and Restated Bylaws, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
