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

Effective November 15, 2007, Ascend Acquisition Corp.’s Board of Directors approved an amendment to the Corporation’s Bylaws to facilitate direct share registration of the Corporation’s common stock.  Direct Share Registration allows a shareholder to be registered directly on the books of the transfer agent without the need of a physical certificate to evidence the security ownership and allows shareholders to electronically transfer securities to broker-dealers in order to effect transactions without the risks and delays associated with transferring physical certificates.  The Corporation’s Bylaws, as amended by the Corporation’s Board of Directors and effective on November 15, 2007, are attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1.

Item 9.01.                                Financial Statement and Exhibits.
