Material Changes
On December 5, 2007, the Board of Directors approved amendments to the Company's Restated Bylaws. These amendments expressly permit the issuance and transfer of both certificated and uncertificated shares of stock. The changes became effective immediately.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
The amendments were enacted to comply with NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4350(l), which mandates that listed companies be eligible to participate in a Direct Registration Program by January 1, 2008. This program allows investors to hold securities in their name without physical stock certificates. The filing notes that while the previous Bylaws did not prohibit uncertificated shares, the Board sought to expressly permit them to ensure compliance. No other risks, contingencies, or unusual items were disclosed.
