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

On March 22, 2018, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Blonder Tongue Laboratories, Inc. (the "Company") amended and restated  (the "Amendment") Article IV, Section 8 of the Company's bylaws (the "Bylaws").  The original provision of the Bylaws provided that the President of the Company would serve as the Company's chief operating officer.  As amended and restated, Article IV, Section 8 of the Bylaws will now provide that the President of the Company will serve as the Company's chief operating officer unless otherwise determined by the Board.  The purpose of the amendment is to allow the Board additional flexibility in defining the roles and responsibilities of the Company's senior management team in the future.

The Amendment became effective immediately upon its approval by the Board.  No other changes to the Bylaws were made.

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