TABLE OF CONTENTS
Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On November 28, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors amended Sections 5.1, 5.2 and 5.4 of
the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”), effective on that day, to allow for the
issuance of uncertificated shares. As the result, the Company may now participate in the Direct
Registration System that is administered by The Depository Trust Company. The Direct Registration
System allows investors to have securities registered in their names without the issuance of
physical certificates and allows investors to electronically transfer securities to broker-dealers
in order to effect transactions without the risks and delays associated with transferring physical
certificates. The amendments to the Bylaws also provide that each stockholder shall be entitled to
a stock certificate upon written request to the Company’s transfer agent or registrar.
The full text of the Bylaws, as amended, is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this report and amended
Sections 5.1, 5.2 and 5.4 are incorporated herein by reference.
