Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On May 10, 2007, the Board of Directors of Axsys Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) approved amendments to the Company’s Bylaws to enable the Company to participate in the Direct Registration System. The amendments, effective May 10, 2007, expanded the form of ownership of shares of stock from “certificated” to “certificated or uncertificated” in response to new rules issued by the NASDAQ Stock Market that require NASDAQ-listed companies to be eligible for a Direct Registration System. A Direct Registration System permits an investor’s ownership to be recorded and maintained on the books of the issuer or the transfer agent without the issuance of a physical stock certificate. The new rule does not require issuers to actually participate in a Direct Registration System or to eliminate physical stock certificates. However, listed securities must be “eligible” for such a program. A copy of the Bylaws, as amended, is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
