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

On December 20, 2007, the Board of Directors of QCR Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) adopted resolutions approving amendments to Sections 6.1 and 6.2 of the Company’s Bylaws to allow for the issuance of uncertificated shares of the Company’s capital stock.  The Company adopted these amendments to comply with new rules adopted by the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) that require listed companies to be eligible for the Direct Registration System (“DRS”) by January 1, 2008.  The DRS allows a stockholder’s ownership to be recorded and maintained on the books of an issuer or its transfer agent without issuance of a physical stock certificate.  The amended Bylaws permit the Company to issue certificated or uncertificated shares, and provisions regarding the transfer of shares have been updated accordingly.

The foregoing description of the amendments to the Company’s Bylaws is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Bylaws, as amended, a copy of which are attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
