Section 5 - Corporate Governance and Management
Item 5.03 - Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year
On October 30, 2007, the Board of Directors of Perma-Fix Environmental Services, Inc. (“PESI”) approved amendments to its Bylaws to permit the issuance and transfer of both certificated and uncertificated shares of capital stock. The amendments are necessary for PESI to comply with new rules enacted by The NASDAQ Stock Market requiring Nasdaq listed companies to be eligible for a “direct registration program” on or after January 7, 2008. Participation in a direct registration program enables investors to establish a “book-entry” position on the books of the company in which shares are owned, recorded and transferred electronically through the Depositary Trust Company, without issuance of a physical stock certificate.
The summary of changes to PESI’s Bylaws set forth above is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the First Amendment to Bylaws, a copy of which is attached to this report as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
