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

 

On January 14, 2013, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of P&F Industries, Inc. (the “Registrant”) held a Board meeting (the “Board Meeting”), pursuant to which the Board amended Article III, Section 1 of the By-laws of the Registrant (as amended on September 12, 2012) (the “By-laws”). Pursuant to such amendment (the “Amendment”) which was effective immediately, the number of directors constituting the full Board remains at eight until the election of the director at the Registrant’s 2013 annual meeting of stockholders (the “2013 Annual Meeting”), at which time the number of directors constituting the full Board shall be reduced to six. The full text of the Amendment to the By-laws is attached as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

At the Board Meeting, the Board also determined that Richard A. Horowitz will be nominated for re-election as director at the 2013 Annual Meeting as the sole member of the class of directors whose terms would expire at the Registrant’s 2016 annual meeting of stockholders. Accordingly, it is anticipated that neither Robert L. Dubofsky nor Alan I. Goldberg will continue to serve as directors following such meeting. Additionally, the Board, effective immediately, increased the size of its Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee (the “Committee”) from two members to three members and elected Richard P. Randall to serve as a member of the Committee, so that the Committee consists of Howard Brod Brownstein (Chairman), Robert L. Dubofsky and Richard P. Randall; provided, however, that upon the election of the director at the 2013 Annual Meeting, the size of the Committee shall decrease from three members to two members.
