Item 5.03               Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year

At a regular meeting of the Board of Directors on May 23, 2007, the Board of Directors of Angeion approved an amendment to the Company’s Bylaws to allow for the issuance and transfer of uncertificated shares of the Company’s common stock.  The Board took the action in light of rules of NASDAQ that mandate that all listed companies become eligible to participate in the Direct Registration System before the end of 2007.  The Company will communicate directly with its shareholders with respect to the effective date of its implementation of the direct share registration system.

A copy of the Company’s bylaws including the new Section 6.2 allowing the issuance and transfer of uncertificated shares of the Company’s common stock is attached as Exhibit 3.2.
