Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year
On March 26, 2007, the Board of Directors acting by unanimous written consent amended Section 3.2 of the Bylaws, which govern the determination of the number of directors. Previously, Section 3.2 specified the exact number of directors of the Company (which was twelve prior to the amendment). As amended, Section 3.2 specifies that the number of directors of the Company shall be as determined from time to time by the Board of Directors or by the shareholders. The new Section 3.2 reads in its entirety as follows:
3.2
Number of Directors. The number of directors of the Corporation shall be as established from time to time (i) by the Board of Directors, by the affirmative vote of not less than seventy percent (70%) of the members of the entire Board, or (ii) by the shareholders of the Corporation.
