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

On December 4, 2007, the Board of Directors of CKE Restaurants, Inc. (the "Company") amended Article VI, Sections 6.1, 6.2, 6.3 and 6.4 of the Company’s Bylaws to allow for the issuance and transfer of uncertificated shares of the Company’s capital stock, as permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law. Prior to the foregoing amendment, the Company’s Bylaws did not address the issuance or transfer of uncertificated shares. The amendment was adopted in order to make the Company eligible to participate in a direct registration system, which allows shares of stock to be owned, reported and transferred electronically without the need for physical stock certificates, as required by Section 501.00 of the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") Listed Company Manual ("Section 501.00"). Section 501.00, which was approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 8, 2006, requires that all companies listed on the NYSE be eligible for a direct registration system operated by a securities depository by January 1, 2008 in order to qualify for continued listing.

A copy of the Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Bylaws is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.6 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On December 10, 2007, the Company announced that its Board of Directors has declared a fourth quarter dividend of $0.06 per share of its common stock to be paid on February 19, 2008 to its stockholders of record at the close of business on January 28, 2008. The press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto. This information, including Exhibit 99.1, shall be deemed to be "furnished" in accordance with SEC release numbers 33-8216 and 34-47583.
