ITEM 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On February 6, 2008, the stockholders of First Keystone Financial, Inc. (the "Company") approved the amendment of Article 5 of the Company's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to insert a new subsection D (the "Articles Amendment"). In addition, as a result of the approval by the stockholders of the Articles Amendment, the Board of Directors' action to amend Sections 3.1 and 3.2 of the Company's Amended and Restated Bylaws (collectively, with the Articles Amendment, the "Amendments") become effective. The purpose of the Amendments is to make the Company's common stock eligible for participation in a Direct Registration Program operated by a clearing agency (such as the one offered by the Depository Trust Company), pursuant to Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4350(1), as recently amended. To be eligible for a Direct Registration Program, the Company's common stock must qualify as "eligible securities," meaning that the Company must permit electronic direct registration of the common stock in an investor's name on the books of the transfer agent or the Company, and similarly allow the common stock to be transferred between a transfer agent and broker. Accordingly, the Amendments were adopted to provide for a system of issuance, recordation and transfer of the Company's common stock by electronic or other means not involving any issuance of physical certificates.
The Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and the Amended and Restated Bylaws, which are attached to this Current Report as Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2, respectively, are incorporated into this Item 5.03 by this reference. The description of the Amendments is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2 hereto. The amendment of the Articles of Incorporation was effective as of February 6, 2008.
As of the date hereof, the Company has not made any determination whether or not to implement electronic direct registration for its common stock.
