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

The amendment reduced the quorum requirements for holding a meeting of shareholders. As amended, the holders of no less than one-third (1/3) of the shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, constitute a quorum at a meeting of shareholders for the transaction of business, except that, where a separate vote by a class or series or classes or series is required, a quorum consists of one-third (1/3) of the shares of that class or series or classes or series. Prior to the amendment, the provision of the Registrant’s Bylaws required that the holders of a majority of the shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, constituted a quorum for the transaction of business.
