Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
Effective November 29, 2007, our board of directors amended Article V of our amended and restated bylaws to provide us with the ability to issue uncertificated shares of our common stock as required by The Nasdaq Stock Market. Our ability to issue uncertificated shares enables us to participate in the direct registration system administered by The Depository Trust Company. The direct registration system will allow our stockholders to have shares of our common stock registered in their names without the issuance of physical certificates and will give our stockholders the ability to electronically transfer shares to brokers in order to effect transactions without the need to transfer physical certificates. Stockholders will still be entitled to stock certificates if they so request in writing.
The full text of our amended and restated bylaws is attached as Exhibit 3.3 to this Form 8-K and Article V of our amended and restated bylaws is incorporated by reference in this Item 5.03.
Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.
(a) | Financial Statements of Business Acquired. Not applicable. | ||
(b) | Pro Forma Financial Information. Not applicable. | ||
