Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

Effective as of May 21, 2018, and following the approval by the Company's stockholders as noted below, Pandora Media, Inc. (the "Company") amended its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Charter Amendment") to remove certain foreign ownership restrictions on its stock. The Charter Amendment is described in more detail in the Company’s definitive proxy statement for its 2018 annual meeting of stockholders, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 10, 2018 (the "2018 Proxy Statement").

Also effective as of May 21, 2018, the Board of Directors of the Company approved an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the "Bylaws"), to delete the last sentence of each of sections 3.01 and 4.01 of the Bylaws. The deleted sentences required directors and officers of the Company to comply with all applicable requirements of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and policies of the Federal Communications Commission.

The foregoing descriptions and the summaries contained in the 2018 Proxy Statement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Charter Amendment, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.01, and to the full text of the as-amended Amended and Restated Bylaws, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.02.
