Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
(a) During its regularly scheduled meeting on October 16, 2007, the board of directors of Abigail Adams National Bancorp, Inc. unanimously approved a motion to amend the Company's bylaws to expand the form of ownership of shares of stock from "certified" to "certificated or uncertificated." The amendment, effective October 16, 2007, was adopted in response to new rules issued by NASDAQ that require NASDAQ-listed companies to be eligible for a Direct Registration Program. A Direct Registration Program 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 Program or to eliminate physical stock certificates. However, listed securities must be "eligible" for such a program. Abigail Adams National Bancorp believes the adoption of this amendment permits its securities to be eligible for such a program. A copy of the bylaws, as amended, is attached as Exhibit 3.1 of this current report on Form 8-K.
(b) Change in fiscal year. Not applicable.
Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.
(a) Finanacial statements of business acquired. Not applicable.
(b) Pro forma financial information. Not applicable.
