ITEM 5.03 AMENDMENTS TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OR BYLAWS: CHANGE IN FISCAL
YEAR.
On March 16, 2009, Waste Technology Corp. (the "Company") changed its name to
"International Baler Corporation". In connection with the name change, the
Company also changed the trading symbol for its common stock on the OTC Bulletin
Board from "WTEK" to "IBCD" effective March 16, 2009.
The change in name did not require stockholder approval, and was accomplished
pursuant to Section 253 of the Delaware General Corporation Law by means of a
merger of the Company's wholly-owned Delaware corporate subsidiary,
International Baler Corporation, with and into the Company. To effect that
merger, the Company has filed a Certificate of Ownership and Merger with the
Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. That certificate states that the
current certificate of incorporation of the Company will continue as the
certificate of incorporation of the Company after the merger, except that the
current certificate of incorporation of the Company will be amended in the
merger so that the corporate name of the Company after the merger will be
"International Baler Corporation" instead of Waste Technology Corp.
Except for this change in corporate name, the Company's capital stock will not
be affected by this merger.
ITEM 7.01 REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE.
On March 16, 2009, the Company issued a press release announcing the name
change. The press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report
and is hereby incorporated by reference in this Item 7.01. Such information is
being furnished and shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of
