Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On August 8, 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission approved an amendment to Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4350(l), which requires securities listed on Nasdaq, such as registrant’s common stock, to be eligible for a Direct Registration System, or DRS. A DRS permits an investor’s ownership of listed companies’ equity securities to be recorded and maintained on the books of the issuers or their transfer agents without the physical issuance of a stock certificate. The new rule does not require companies to participate in the DRS; however, all Nasdaq listed equity securities must be eligible to participate in the DRS by January 1, 2008. To be eligible to participate in the DRS, companies must, among other things, make sure that their governing documents allow their equity securities to be held in book-entry form. As was the case with many companies, registrant’s Bylaws (specifically, Article VII) did not allow registrant’s stock to be held in book-entry form. Article VII of registrant’s Bylaws required the physical issuance of stock certificates to registrant’s stockholders.
Accordingly on October 18, 2007, registrant’s Board of Directors approved amendments to registrant’s Bylaws to allow for either physical issuance of registrant’s shares in certificated form or their issuance in book entry form, depending on the individual decision of each stockholder. The Bylaw amendments render registrant’s Common Stock DRS eligible and thereby in compliance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4350(l).
A copy of registrant’s Bylaws as amended is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.2. The provisions of Article VII of the Bylaws that were amended by the Board on October 18, 2007 are marked to show changes from the provisions prior to the amendments.
