Proxy access shall be available for stockholders beginning at AECOM’s 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Section2.4 has been added to the Bylaws to permit a stockholder, or a group of stockholders, owning 25% or more of AECOM’s outstanding common stock to request a special meeting of stockholders, provided the requesting stockholder(s)satisfy the requirements specified in the Bylaws.
