Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On November 13, 2007, the Board of Directors of Aaron Rents, Inc. (the “Company”) amended and
restated the Company’s Bylaws. The amendments expressly provide for the issuance of uncertificated
shares, make updating changes to the indemnification provisions and make certain other amendments.
Regarding the certificateless share amendments, under new Section 501.00 of the New York Stock
Exchange Listed Company Manual, which will become effective January 1, 2008, issuers are required
to be eligible for a direct registration program, which permits an investor’s ownership to be
recorded and maintained on the books of the issuer or its transfer agent without the issuance of a
physical stock certificate.
The foregoing description of the Amended and Restated Bylaws is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the Amended and Restated Bylaws, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3(b)
and incorporated herein by reference.
