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

On December 7, 2022, the Board of Directors of Innovative Industrial Properties, Inc. (the “Company”) adopted amended and restated bylaws of the Company (the “Third Amended and Restated Bylaws”) in order to, among other things, address matters relating to Rule 14a-19 (the “Universal Proxy Rules”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which applies to stockholder meetings held after August 31, 2022.

Among other things, the amendments effected by the Third Amended and Restated Bylaws:

amend language to ensure that any stockholder casting a vote by proxy complies with applicable laws and regulations, including the Universal Proxy Rules;

reflect the requirement that any stockholder directly or indirectly soliciting proxies from other stockholders must use a proxy card color other than white, with the white proxy card being reserved for exclusive use by the Board of Directors of the Company;

update the provisions related to the information required to be included in a stockholder’s notice of nomination of individuals for election as a director and the information required to be included in any notice of other business the stockholder proposes to bring before a meeting;

require a stockholder submitting a director nomination to make a written undertaking that such stockholder intends to solicit holders of shares representing at least 67% of the voting power of shares entitled to vote on the election of directors in support of the director nomination in accordance with the Universal Proxy Rules;

update the accompanying certifications made by a stockholder submitting a notice of nomination of individuals for election as a director; and

reflect that the Company will disregard any proxy authority granted in favor of any proposed director nominee if the stockholder soliciting proxies in support of such proposed nominee abandons the solicitation or does not comply with the Universal Proxy Rules.

The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Third Amended and Restated Bylaws, which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
