Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal
Year.
On November 21, 2007, our Board of Directors approved an amendment to our Bylaws
providing for shares of our company's stock to be issued, held and transferred:
- in certificated form, in which shares are represented by physical
certificates, or
- in uncertificated form, in which shares are held in book-entry form
pursuant to a direct registration system without being represented by a
physical certificate.
This amendment provides that shares of our company's stock may be issued and
held in uncertificated form if our board of directors adopts a resolution
permitting such shares to be uncertificated. On November 21, 2007, our
company's board of directors adopted such a resolution with respect to our
company's common stock. As a result of the Bylaw amendment and this board
resolution, our shareholders will be able to have their shares of our company's
common stock represented by one or more physical certificates, recorded in
uncertificated form, or represented and recorded by a combination of physical
certificates and uncertificated book-entries. The Bylaw amendment is designed
to be responsive to applicable American Stock Exchange requirements that listed
securities be made eligible for inclusion on a direct registration system by
January 1, 2008. Prior to our board's approval of the Bylaw amendment, shares
of our company's common stock were required to be in certificated form.
In addition to approving the Bylaw amendment referred to above, our board of
directors approved the amendment and restatement of our Bylaws. With the
exception of the changes made to permit shares being held in uncertificated
form, no changes were made to our Bylaws as a part of this amendment and
restatement. The amendment and restatement of our Bylaws, which includes the
amendment summarized above, became effective on November 21, 2007. However,
shareholders will not have the opportunity to put their shares into
uncertificated form until later this year when our transfer agent notifies us
that it is able to process shareholder requests to do so.
A copy of our amended and restated Bylaws is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.2 and
is incorporated herein by reference. The description of the Bylaw amendment
contained in this report is qualified in its entirety by reference to such
document.
