ITEM 5.03    AMENDMENTS TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OR BY-LAWS; CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR
 
    Navistar International Corporation’s (the company) By-Laws contain an advance notification bylaw or “ANB” provision that provides a procedure for any stockholder to propose director nominees or place items on the agenda for consideration at the company’s annual meeting of stockholders. On August 26, 2008, the Board of Directors of the company approved certain amendments to the company’s ANB, effective as of August 26, 2008, to strengthen the company’s ANB by, among other things, clarifying that the ANB applies to both director nominations as well as stockholder proposals and requiring that the notice to be submitted by the stockholder to the company pursuant to the ANB disclose all stock ownership and derivative positions in the company’s stock. These changes were designed to ensure that the company and its stockholders have adequate information to evaluate any stockholder nominee or proposal in advance of any stockholders meeting. A redlined copy of the By-Law amendment is attached as Exhibit 3.3 to this Current Report and is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
