Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
(a) On October 16, 2007, the Board of Directors of Pinnacle Financial Partners, Inc. (the “Company”) amended the Bylaws of the Company to (i) provide that a director who is appointed to fill a vacancy on the board shall continue as a director only until the next meeting of the shareholders, (ii) clarify the procedures that the board of directors shall observe when selecting management nominees to the board of directors and (iii) allow for un-certificated shares. Prior to the amendment, the Bylaws of the Company provided that directors who were appointed to fill a vacancy served as a director until the expiration of the term of the director who was being replaced or the class of directors in which the vacancy had been created. With respect to the director nomination process, the amendment clarifies the Company’s practice that management nominees to the board of directors must be reviewed and recommended to the board of directors by the Company’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Finally, prior to the amendment, the Company’s Bylaws provided for certificated shares only.
A copy of the Bylaws of the Company, as amended, is attached to this Form 8-K asExhibit 3.2.
