Item 5.03 Amendment to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On December 17, 2010, our board of directors voted to amend our amended and restated by-laws to provide that our fiscal year will end on the Saturday nearest to December 31 of each year and that our annual meeting of shareholders will occur on the third Thursday in May each year. Prior to these amendments, our by-laws had provided that our fiscal year ended on the last Saturday of November in each year and that our annual meeting of shareholders would occur on the third Thursday in April each year. As a result of this change to our fiscal year end, we will report a five-week transition period consisting of November 28, 2010 to January 1, 2011, and our 2011 fiscal year will begin on January 2, 2011 and end on December 31, 2011.
These amendments to our by-laws took effect immediately upon their adoption by our board of directors. A copy of our amended and restated by-laws, as so amended, is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.2 and incorporated herein by reference and a copy of the press release announcing the change in our fiscal year end is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
