Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year. |
On June 7, 2007, at the Company’s annual general meeting, the shareholders of the Company approved an amendment to the Company’s bye-laws to make the Company eligible for a direct registration program, which is operated by a securities depository, in compliance with recently adopted rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (the “Amendment”). The Amendment replaces the first two sentences of bye-law 61(1), which now reads in its entirety as follows:
“Shares may be transferred either by an instrument of transfer in the form of Form “C” in the Schedule hereto (or as near thereto as circumstances admit) or in such other common form as the Board may accept or by such electronic means as may be consistent with the rules or regulations of any exchange or quotation system on which shares are listed or quoted provided that shares may only be transferred without a written instrument if transferred by an appointed agent or otherwise in accordance with the Act. Any physical instrument of transfer shall be signed by or on behalf of the transferor and transferee provided that, in the case of a fully paid share, the Board may accept the instrument signed by or on behalf of the transferor alone.”
