 Any and all such shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock may be issued for such consideration
as shall be fixed from time to time by the Board of Directors. 
 The preferences, limitations and relative rights of such classes shall be
as follows: 
 (1) Designation of Series. The Preferred Stock may from time to time as hereinafter provided be divided into and issued
in one or more series, and the Board of Directors is hereby expressly authorized to establish one or more series, to fix and determine the variations as among series and to fix and determine, to the extent provided in the Wisconsin Business
Corporation Law, the following designations, terms, limitations and relative rights and preferences of such series: 
 (a) The
designations of such series and the number of shares which shall constitute such series, which number may at any time, or from time to time, be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the Board of
Directors unless the Board of Directors shall have otherwise provided in establishing such series; 







 (b) The voting rights to which the holders of the shares of such series are entitled, if
any; 
 (c) The yearly rate of dividends on the shares of such series, the dates in each year upon which such dividend shall
be payable and, if such dividend shall be cumulative, the date or dates from which such dividend shall be cumulative; 
 (d)
The amount per share payable on the shares of such series in the event of the liquidation or dissolution or winding up of the Corporation (whether voluntary or involuntary); 
 (e) The terms, if any, on which the shares of such series shall be redeemable, and, if redeemable, the amount per share payable thereon in
the case of the redemption thereof (which amount may vary with regard to (i) shares redeemed on different dates; and (ii) shares redeemed through the operation of a sinking fund, if any, applicable to such shares, from the amount payable
with respect to shares otherwise redeemed); 
 (f) The extent to and manner in which a sinking fund, if any, shall be applied
to the redemption or purchase of the shares of such series, and the terms and provisions relative to the operation of such fund; 
 (g) The terms, if any, on which the shares of such series shall be convertible into shares of any other class or of any other series of the same or any other class and, if so convertible, the price or prices or the rate or rates of
conversion, including the method, if any, for adjustments of such prices or rates, and any other terms and conditions applicable thereto; and 
 (h) Such other terms, limitations and relative rights and preferences, if any, of such series as the Board of Directors may lawfully fix and determine and as shall not be inconsistent with the laws of the State of
Wisconsin or these Restated Articles of Incorporation. 
 All shares of the same series of Preferred Stock shall be identical in all
respects, except that shares of any one series issued at different times may differ as to dates from which any cumulative dividends thereon shall be cumulative. All shares of the Preferred Stock of all series shall be equal and shall be identical in
all respects, except as permitted by the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (1). 
 (2) Dividends. The holders of Preferred Stock
shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds legally available therefor, dividends at the annual rate fixed by the Board of Directors with respect to each series of shares and no more. Such dividends
shall be payable on such dates and in respect of such periods in such year as may be fixed by the Board of Directors to the holders of record thereof on such date as may be determined by the Board of Directors. Such dividends shall be paid or
declared and set apart for payment for each dividend period before any dividend (other than a dividend payable solely in Common Stock) for the same period shall be paid upon or set apart for payment on the Common Stock, and, if dividends on the
Preferred Stock shall be cumulative, all unpaid dividends thereon for any past dividend period shall be fully paid or declared and set apart for payment, but without 

  

 2 








 
interest, before any dividend (other than a dividend payable solely in Common Stock) shall be paid upon or set apart for payment on the Common Stock. The
holders of Preferred Stock shall not, however, be entitled to participate in any other or additional earnings or profits of the Corporation, except for such premiums, if any, as may be payable in case of redemption, liquidation, dissolution or
winding up. 
 (3) Redemption. In the event that the shares of any series of the Preferred Stock shall be made redeemable as provided
in subparagraph (e) of paragraph (1), above, the Corporation may, at its option, redeem at any time or from time to time all or any part of such shares, upon notice duly given as hereinafter provided, by paying for each share the redemption
price then applicable thereto fixed by the Board of Directors as provided in subparagraph (e) of paragraph (1), above. 
 Notice of
every such redemption shall be mailed at least thirty (30) days prior to the date fixed for such redemption to the holders of record of the shares called for redemption at their respective addresses as shown on the stock records of the
Corporation. In case of a redemption of a part of a series of Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, the Corporation shall select by lot, in such manner as the Board of Directors may determine, the shares to be redeemed. 
 On or before the date fixed for a redemption specified therein, the Corporation shall deposit funds sufficient to redeem such shares with a bank or trust
company in good standing, as designated in such notice, organized under the laws of the United States or of the State of Wisconsin, doing business in the City of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and having a capital, surplus and undivided profit aggregating at
least $50,000,000.00, according to its last published statement of condition, in trust for the pro rata benefit of the holders of the shares called for redemption, and if the name and address of such bank or trust company and the deposit or intent
to deposit the redemption funds in such trust account shall have been stated in such notice of redemption, and the Corporation shall have given such bank or trust company irrevocable instructions and authorization to pay the amount payable upon
redemption to the proper holders upon surrender of certificates representing such shares, then, from and after the mailing of such notice and the making of such deposit, all shares so called for redemption shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding
for any purpose whatsoever and the right to receive dividends thereon and all rights of the holders of such shares in or with respect to such shares of the Corporation shall forthwith cease and terminate, except only the right of the holders thereof
to receive from such bank or trust company the amount payable upon redemption together with all accrued but unpaid dividends to the date fixed for redemption, without interest, upon the surrender of the certificates representing the shares to be
redeemed, and the right to exercise privileges of conversion, if any, on or before the date fixed for redemption or such earlier date as may be fixed for the expiration thereof. 
 Any funds so deposited by the Corporation which shall not be required for such redemption because of the exercise of any right of conversion subsequent
to the time of such deposit shall be released and repaid to the Corporation upon its request. Any funds so deposited and unclaimed at the end of five (5) years (or such shorter period as shall be provided by law) after the date fixed for
redemption shall be released and repaid to the Corporation, after which holders of the shares called for redemption shall no longer look to said bank or trust company but shall look only to the Corporation, or to others, as the case may be, for
payment of any lawful claim for such funds which the holders of said shares may still have. Any interest accrued on funds so deposited shall be paid to the Corporation from time to time.

 (4) Reissue of Shares. Shares of the Preferred Stock which shall have been converted, redeemed,
purchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation, whether through the operation of a sinking fund or otherwise, shall be retired and restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares. 
 (5) Liquidation. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up (whether voluntary or involuntary) of the Corporation, the holders of
shares of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to be paid the full amount payable on such shares upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation fixed by the Board of Directors with respect to such shares as provided in subparagraph
(d) of paragraph (1), above, before any amount shall be paid to the holders of the Common Stock. After payment to holders of the Preferred Stock of the full preferential amounts to which they are entitled, the remaining assets of the
Corporation shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the Common Stock. 
 ARTICLE IV 
 Except as set forth in any written agreement between the Corporation and any holder of any stock of the Corporation, no such holder shall have any
preemptive or other subscription rights nor be entitled, as of right, to purchase or subscribe for any part of the unissued stock of the Corporation or any additional stock issued by reason of any increase of authorized capital stock of the
Corporation or other securities whether or not convertible into stock of the Corporation. 
 ARTICLE V 
 The address of the registered office of the Corporation is 780 North Water Street, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53202 and its registered agent at such address is
G&K Wisconsin Services, LLC. 
 ARTICLE VI 
 All corporate powers shall be exercised by or under the authority of, and the business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed under the direction of, its Board of Directors. The number of directors (exclusive
of directors, if any, elected by the holders of one or more series of Preferred Stock, voting separately as a series pursuant to the provisions of these Restated Articles of Incorporation applicable thereto) shall be not less than three
(3) directors, the exact number of directors to be determined from time to time by resolution adopted by affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office. No decrease in the number of directors shall shorten the term of any
incumbent director. 
 The directors of Marshall & Ilsley Corporation (“M&I Corp.”) immediately prior to the
conversion (the “Conversion”) of M&I Corp. from a Wisconsin corporation into a Wisconsin limited liability company shall be the initial directors of the Corporation. Each initial director of the Corporation shall hold office for an
initial term equal to the remainder of his or her term as a director of M&I Corp. and until his or her successor shall be elected and shall qualify. The 

  

 4 








 
remaining term of the initial directors as directors of M&I Corp. shall be determined as of the date immediately prior to the Conversion. Each director
succeeding an initial director shall hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders and until his or her successor shall be elected and shall qualify. 
 Any newly created directorship resulting from an increase in the number of directors and any other vacancy on the Board of Directors, however caused, shall be filled by the vote of a majority of the directors then in
office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. Any director so elected to fill any vacancy in the Board of Directors, including a vacancy created by an increase in the number of directors, shall hold office until the next
annual meeting of shareholders and until his or her successor shall be elected and shall qualify. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any vacancy in a director position elected by the holders of one or more series of Preferred Stock, voting separately as
a series, shall be filled by the vote of such shareholders. 
 Exclusive of directors, if any, elected by the holders of one or more series
of Preferred Stock, voting separately as a series pursuant to the provisions of these Restated Articles of Incorporation applicable thereto, no director of the Corporation may be removed from office, except for Cause and by the affirmative vote of a
majority of the votes entitled to be cast by all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders duly called for such purpose. As used in this Article VI, the term “Cause” shall mean
solely malfeasance arising from the performance of a director’s duties which has a materially adverse effect on the business of the Corporation. 
 No person, except those nominated by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, shall be eligible for election as a director at any annual or special meeting of shareholders unless a written request, in the form
and within the applicable notice period established by the Corporation’s By-laws, is received from a shareholder of record by the Secretary of the Corporation. Where such a request for nomination and such consent have been timely received, but
such nominee is unable or declines to serve, the person who placed the individual’s name in nomination may request that an alternative name be placed in nomination at the meeting. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever the holders of any one or more series of Preferred Stock issued by the Corporation shall have the right, voting
separately by series, to elect directors at an annual or special meeting of shareholders, the election, term of office, filling of vacancies and other features of such directorships shall be governed by the terms of these Restated Articles of
Incorporation applicable thereto. 
 ARTICLE VII 
 The period of existence of the Corporation shall be perpetual. 
 ARTICLE VIII 
 The Corporation’s By-laws may be amended, altered or repealed, and new By-laws may be enacted, only by the affirmative vote of not less than a
majority of the votes entitled to be cast by all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders duly called for such purpose, or by a vote of not less than a majority of the directors then in
office.
