ITEM 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in FiscalYear
On October 22, 2007, the Board of Directors of CFS Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") voted to amend Article III of the Company’s Bylaws to provide for the issuance and transfer of uncertificated shares of the Company’s stock. The amendment was adopted so that the Company will be eligible to participate in the Direct Registration System (the “DRS”) which, effective January 1, 2008, will be required of all NASDAQ Stock Market listed companies. The DRS permits investors to register their securities in their names without the issuance of physical certificates and further allows investors to transfer securities electronically to broker-dealers in order to effect transactions without the risks and delays associated with transferring physical certificates. The amendment to the Bylaws also provides that each registered stockholder shall be entitled to a stock certificate upon written request to the transfer agent or registrar of the Company.
The amendment took effect upon adoption by the Board of Directors. Prior to the amendment, the Company’s Bylaws provided for certificated shares only.
A copy of the Company’s Bylaws is attached as Exhibit 3.2 and the above description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Bylaws included in Exhibit 3.2.
