| Item 5.03. | Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year. |
At the Annual Meeting of Stockholders
of Waste Management, Inc. (the “Company”) held on May 14, 2024 (the “Annual Meeting”), the Company’s
stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Third Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate”)
to eliminate or limit the personal liability of certain officers for monetary damages associated with claims of breach of the duty of
care in certain instances (referred to as “exculpation”) as permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”)
and also simplify the existing exculpation provision related to directors of the Company set forth in the Certificate by referring to
the DGCL as the same exists or may hereafter be amended instead of specifying each instance where exculpation for directors is currently
not available under the DGCL (the “Charter Amendment”). As a result of the Charter Amendment, if the DGCL is further amended
to eliminate or limit the liability of officers or directors, the liability of such officers and directors will be limited or eliminated
to the fullest extent permitted by law, as so amended.
The Charter Amendment had
been previously approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. On May 14, 2024, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment
with the Delaware Secretary of State, which became effective upon filing. The foregoing is qualified by reference to the full text of
the Certificate of Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by
reference. The Company subsequently filed a restatement of the Certificate with the Delaware Secretary of State on May 15, 2024 (the
“Fourth Restated Certificate of Incorporation”), which became effective upon filing and only restates the Certificate and
integrates the Charter Amendment. The foregoing is qualified by reference to the full text of the Fourth Restated Certificate of Incorporation,
which is filed as Exhibit 3.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
| Item 5.07. | Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders. |
At the Annual Meeting, a total
of 344,649,951 shares of the Company’s common stock, out of a total of 401,296,564 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled
to vote, were present in person or represented by proxies. The items set forth below were voted on by the Company’s stockholders.
Each of the director nominees listed under item 1 were elected and the Company’s stockholders approved the proposals in each of
items 2, 3 and 4. Final vote results are set forth below.

Directors in its discretion may fix.
B. The

number of shares of any series be so decreased, the shares constituting such decrease shall resume the status which they had prior to
adoption of the resolution originally fixing the number of shares of such series.
E.
Shares of any series of Preferred Stock which have been redeemed (whether through the operation of a sinking fund or otherwise),
purchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation, or which, if convertible or exchangeable, have been converted into or exchanged for
shares of stock of any other class or classes, shall have the status of authorized and unissued shares of Preferred Stock and may be reissued

designated from time to time by the Board of Directors or in the bylaws of the Corporation.
Seventh:
A director or officer of the Corporation shall not be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach
of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not
permitted under the General Corporation Law of Delaware as the same exists or may hereafter be amended. Any amendment, modification
or repeal of the foregoing sentence shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director or officer of the Corporation
hereunder in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such amendment, modification or repeal.
Eighth:
This Corporation shall, to the maximum extent permitted from time to time under the law of the State of Delaware, indemnify and upon
request shall advance expenses to any person who is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit, proceeding or claim, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that
such person is or was or has agreed to be a director or officer of this Corporation or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries or
while such a director or officer is or was serving at the request of this Corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee,
employee or agent of any corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to
employee benefit plans, against expenses (including attorney's fees and expenses), judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in
settlement incurred in connection with the investigation, preparation to defend or defense of such action, suit, proceeding or
claim; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not require this Corporation to indemnify or advance expenses to any person in
connection with any action, suit, proceeding, claim or counterclaim initiated by or on behalf of such person. Such indemnification
shall not be exclusive of other indemnification rights arising under any bylaws, agreement, vote of directors or stockholders or
otherwise and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs and legal representatives of such person. Any person seeking indemnification
under this Article shall be deemed to have met the standard of conduct required for such indemnification unless the contrary shall
be established.
| Ninth: | A. Except as otherwise provided in this Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the bylaws of the
Corporation relating to the rights of the holders of any class or series of Preferred Stock, voting separately by class or series,
to elect additional directors under specified circumstances, the number of directors of the Corporation shall be as fixed from time
to time by, or in the manner provided in, the bylaws of the Corporation. Unless approved by at least two-thirds of the incumbent
directors, the number of directors which shall constitute the whole Board of Directors shall be no fewer than three and no more than
nine. |
B.
Commencing with the election of directors at the 2003 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, all directors, other than those who
may be elected by the holders of any class or series of Preferred Stock voting separately by class or series, shall be elected annually.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provision of this Article, each director shall serve until his successor is duly elected and qualified or
until his earlier death, resignation or removal.
C.
Except as otherwise provided pursuant to the provisions of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the bylaws of the
Corporation relating to the rights of the holders of any class or series of Preferred Stock, voting separately by class or series, to
elect directors under specified circumstances, any director or directors may be removed from office at any time, with or without cause
but only by the affirmative vote, at any annual meeting or special meeting (as the case may be) of the stockholders, of not less than
a majority of the total number of votes of the then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally
in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, but only if notice of such proposal was contained in the notice of such
meeting.
D. In the event of any increase or decrease in the authorized number of directors, the newly created or eliminated directorships
resulting from such increase or decrease shall be appointed or determined by the Board of Directors. No decrease in the authorized number
of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.
E. Vacancies
in the Board of Directors, however caused, and newly-created directorships shall be filled solely by a majority vote of the directors
then in office, whether or not a quorum, and any director so chosen shall hold office until his successor is duly elected and qualified
or until his earlier death, resignation or removal.
F. Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever the holders of any one or more classes or series of Preferred Stock issued by the
Corporation shall have the right, voting separately by class or series, to elect directors at an annual or special meeting of stockholders,
the election, term of office, filling of vacancies, and other features of such directorships shall be governed by the terms of this Restated
Certificate of Incorporation applicable thereto, and such directors so elected shall not be divided into classes pursuant to this Article
unless expressly provided by such terms.
G. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the bylaws of the Corporation (and
notwithstanding the fact that a lesser percentage may be specified by law, this Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the bylaws of
the Corporation), the affirmative vote, at any regular meeting or special meeting of the stockholders, of not less than a majority of
the total number of votes of the then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election
of directors, voting together as a single class, shall be required to amend or repeal, or to adopt any provision inconsistent with the
purpose or intent of, this Article, but only if notice of the proposed alteration or amendment was contained in the notice of such meeting.
Tenth:
In furtherance of, and not in limitation of, the powers conferred by statute, the Board of Directors is expressly authorized to
adopt, amend or repeal the bylaws of the Corporation, or adopt new bylaws, without any action on the part of the stockholders;
provided, however, that no such adoption, amendment or repeal shall be valid with respect to bylaw provisions which have been
adopted, amended or repealed by the stockholders; and further provided, that bylaws adopted or amended by the Directors and any
powers thereby conferred may be amended, altered or repealed by the stockholders.
Eleventh:
The Corporation reserves the right at any time, and from time to time, to amend, alter, change, or repeal any provision contained in
this Restated Certificate of Incorporation, and other provisions authorized by the laws of the State of Delaware at the time in
force may be added or inserted, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by law; and all rights, preferences, and privileges of
whatsoever nature conferred upon stockholders, directors, or any other persons whomsoever by and pursuant to this Restated
Certificate of Incorporation in its present form or as hereafter amended are granted subject to the rights reserved in this Article;
provided, however, that the Corporation shall not amend Article Ninth to be effective on a date other than a date on which directors
are elected.
4. This
Restated Certificate of Incorporation was duly adopted by vote of the stockholders in accordance with Section 242 and 245 of the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
