| Item 5.03 | Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year |
On May 25, 2006, Delta’s Board of Directors amended Article V of Delta’s By-Laws relating to the officers of the corporation. The primary purpose of the amendments is to revise Section 5.1 of the By-Laws to allow the Chief Executive Officer to appoint Vice Presidents (other than Executive Vice Presidents and Senior Vice Presidents), Assistant Secretaries and Assistant Treasurers, rather than requiring the Board of Directors to elect those officers. The By-Laws previously stated that the Board of Directors shall elect all officers of the corporation.
Under the By-Laws as amended, the Board of Directors retains the sole authority to elect the Chair, a Vice Chair, the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Operating Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, Executive Vice Presidents, Senior Vice Presidents, the Secretary, the Controller and the Treasurer of the Company. The Board of Directors also has the authority to elect Vice Presidents, Assistant Secretaries and Assistant Treasurers.
Delta’s By-Laws, as amended through May 25, 2006, are attached as Exhibit 3.1. The amendments to Delta’s By-Laws were effective on May 25, 2006.
