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

The Board of Directors of the Company amended Article VI of the Company’s Bylaws, effective August 13, 2007, to provide that by resolution the Company’s Common Stock may be in the form of uncertificated shares. Shares represented by an outstanding certificate may not, however, be issued in uncertificated form until the certificate is surrendered to the Company. The amended Article VI provides that every holder of uncertificated shares shall upon request be entitled to have a certificate signed by, or in the name of the Company by, the chairman of the Board and other specified officers of the Company.
The amendment of Article VI implements a recently adopted NASDAQ requirement that securities listed on NASDAQ, such as the Company’s Common Stock, be eligible for a Direct Registration Program operated by a clearing agency such as The Depository Trust Company. A Direct Registration Program allows an investor to have securities registered in the investor’s name without having a physical certificate issued to the investor.
The full text of the Bylaws, including amended Article VI, is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report.
