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

On August 28, 2007, the Board of Directors of StockerYale, Inc. (the “Company”) amended Sections 1 and 2 of Article V of the Company’s By-Laws to expressly provide for the issuance of uncertificated shares in order to comply with a Nasdaq rule change requiring listed securities be eligible to participate in the Direct Registration System by January 1, 2008. By being able to issue uncertificated shares, the Company may now participate in the Direct Registration System, which is currently administered by The Depository Trust Company. The Direct Registration System allows investors to have securities registered in their names without the issuance of physical certificates and allows investors to electronically transfer securities to broker-dealers in order to effect transactions without the risks and delays associated with transferring physical certificates.

The amendment to the By-Laws is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.

(d) The exhibits listed in the Exhibit Index below are filed with this report.


Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
