Item 5.03
Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
 
On August 15, 2012, at a Special Meeting of shareholders (the “Special Meeting”), one of the proposals the shareholders of DGT Holdings Corp. (the “Company”) approved was an amendment (the “Charter Amendment”) to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) to allow for shareholders to act without a meeting by written consent if the matter is approved by the holders of shares having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote on the matter were present and voted.  The Charter Amendment was filed with the Secretary of State of New York and became effective August 16, 2012.
 
Pursuant to unanimous written consent of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), dated August 10, 2012, the Board approved and adopted Amendment No. 4 (the “By-Laws Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated By-Laws of the Company (the “By-Laws”).  The By-Laws Amendment amended (i) Article I, Section 1 of the By-Laws to state that the principal office of the Corporation be located in the state of New York and (ii) Article II, Section 12 of the By-Laws to state that whenever the vote of shareholders is required or permitted in connection with any corporate action, that action may be taken without a meeting on written consent, setting forth the action so taken, signed by the holders of outstanding shares having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted, and that notice of such action must be given in writing to the Secretary of the Company before the proposed effective time of such action.  Article I, Section 1 of the By-Laws previously stated that the principal office of the Company shall be located in Valhalla, New York.  Article II, Section 12 of the By-Laws previously provided that shareholders could take action without a meeting on written consent of all outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon.  In addition, Article II, Section 12 of the By-Laws further provided that such provision shall not be construed to alter or modify any provision of law or any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation under which the written consent of the holders of less than all outstanding shares is sufficient for corporate action.  The By-Laws Amendment became effective August 16, 2012.
 
The descriptions of the Charter Amendment and the By-Laws Amendment contained herein do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Charter Amendment and the By-Laws Amendment, which are filed as Exhibit 3.1 and Exhibit 3.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
 
Item 5.07
Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
 
At the Special Meeting held on August 15, 2012, shareholders considered three proposals, each of which is described in more detail in the Company’s definitive proxy statement for the Special Meeting, dated July 18, 2012.  There were 3,839,468 shares of common stock eligible to vote at the meeting.  Each of the proposals was considered and approved by the requisite number of votes eligible to be cast or represented.  The adjournment or postponement of the Special Meeting was not necessary because there were sufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to approve the sale of our power conversion business, operated by our RFI Corporation subsidiary (the “RFI Transaction”), pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”), dated June 6, 2012, by and among the Company, RFI Corporation, and Ultra Electronics Defense, Inc.
