Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year
(b) Change in Fiscal YearIn connection with the implementation of SAP software accounting modules across all of the Company's business units, the Board of Directors of Pacer International, Inc. (the "Company") has approved changing the Company's fiscal year from the 52- or 53-week annual accounting period ending on the last Friday in December to a fiscal year ending on December 31 of each year. The change in fiscal year only impacts our reporting for our Stacktrain business unit as all of the Company's other business units already had fiscal years ending on the last day of December. This is not deemed a change in fiscal year for purposes of reporting subject to Rule 13a-10 or Rule 15d-10 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as the new fiscal year commences within seven days of the prior fiscal year-end, and the new fiscal year commences with the end of the prior fiscal year. Accordingly, the Company will not be filing a transition report, and will include the five-day transition period o f December 27-31, 2008 with the first quarter of 2009.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
