Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On July 30, 2007, the Board of Directors of MWI Veterinary Supply, Inc. (the “Company”) adopted Amendment No. 1 to the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) to allow for the issuance of uncertificated shares.
The ability to issue uncertificated shares allows the Company to participate in the Direct Registration System, which is currently administered by the Depositary Trust Company. The Direct Registration System allows investors to have securities registered in their names without the issuance of physical certificates and allows investors to electronically transfer securities to broker dealers in order to effect transactions without the risk and delays associated with transferring physical certificates. The Bylaws as amended continue to provide however that each registered stockholder shall be entitled to receive a stock certificate upon written request to the transfer agent or registrar of the Company.
The full text of Amendment No. 1 to the Bylaws is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Report and is incorporated herein by reference.
