Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On December 17, 2007, the Board of Directors of Paulson Capital Corp. (the "Company") approved an amendment and restatement of the Company's Bylaws (the "Bylaws"). Among other things, the Bylaws allow for the issuance of uncertificated shares that are registerable in book-entry form and to facilitate participation in the Direct Registration System ("DRS"). The objective of DRS is to allow investors to have securities registered in their names without the issuance of physical certificates, and to minimize the risks and delays associated the transfer of physical certificates. The Bylaws also increase the maximum size of the Board of Directors from seven to nine.
The full text of the Amended and Restated Bylaws is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report.
