Item 5.03 | Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Changes in Fiscal Year |
| | |
| On August 28, 2007, the Board of Directors of Cabela’s Incorporated (the “Company”) amended Article 6 of the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws to permit the issuance of uncertificated shares of the Company’s capital stock. The amendments enable the Company to be eligible for participation in the Direct Registration System, currently operated by the Depository Trust Company, as required by the rules of the New York Stock Exchange. The Direct Registration System allows stockholders to have shares of the Company’s securities registered in their names without the issuance of physical certificates and allows them to electronically transfer the Company’s securities to broker-dealers in order to effect transactions without the need to transfer physical certificates. A copy of the Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended, of the Company is filed as Exhibit 3 hereto and incorporated herein by reference. |
