Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On August 24, 2007, the Board of Directors of Lamar Advertising Company (the “Company”) approved an amendment and restatement of the Company’s bylaws (the “Bylaws”) to allow for the representation of shares of the Company’s stock in either certificated or uncertificated form. The amendments to the Bylaws will permit direct or “book-entry” registration of shares of the Company’s stock and thereby facilitate the Company’s eligibility to participate in NASDAQ’s direct registration system. Additional amendments, including changes to director and stockholder meeting notice requirements and the ability to participate in meetings remotely, were also made to the Bylaws.
The above description is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Bylaws of the Company, which is attached to this Form 8-K as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
On August 24, 2007, the Company made certain amendments to its deferred compensation plan that were made as a result of the final regulations issued by the Internal Revenue Service under Internal Revenue Code Section 409A on April 10, 2007. The amended and restated Deferred Compensation Plan is attached to this Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated by reference.
