Item 3.03Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

On March 10, 2022, the Board of Directors of CorEnergy Infrastructure Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) approved an amendment to Article II, Section 6 of the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Bylaws (“Bylaws) to lower the quorum required for taking action at a meeting of stockholders generally from shares entitled to cast a majority of the votes entitled to be cast (without regard to class) to shares entitled to cast one-third (1/3) of the votes entitled to be cast (without regard to class) and (2) to lower the quorum required for approval by a separate vote of one or more classes of stock from shares entitled to cast a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by each such class to shares entitled to cast one-third (1/3) of the votes entitled to be cast by each such class (the “Amendment”). The Board of Directors approved the Amendment to help ensure the Company would continue to be able to obtain the necessary quorum for its stockholders to be able to take action at both annual and special meetings of stockholders, in light of the recent decline in institutional holdings of the Company’s outstanding voting securities.

The foregoing description of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Amendment, marked to show the changes, which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Document
Exhibit 3.1
AMENDMENT TO ARTICLE II, SECTION 6 OF
THE CORENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE TRUST, INC.
THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED BYLAWS (REDLINED)


Section 6. QUORUM. The presence in person or by proxy of the holders of shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to cast a majorityone-third (1/3) of the votes entitled to be cast (without regard to class) shall constitute a quorum at any meeting of the stockholders, except with respect to any such matter that, under applicable statutes or regulatory requirements or the charter of the Corporation (the “Charter”), requires approval by a separate vote of one or more classes of stock, in which case the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of shares entitled to cast a majorityone-third (1/3) of the votes entitled to be cast by each such class on such a matter shall constitute a quorum.

If, however, such quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the stockholders, the chairman of the meeting shall have the power to adjourn the meeting from time to time to a date not more than 120 days after the original record date without notice other than announcement at the meeting. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified.

The stockholders present either in person or by proxy, at a meeting which has been duly called and convened, may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum.
