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

 

At the registrant’s annual meeting of shareholders held May 3, 2005, shareholders voted to approve the amendment of Power-One, Inc.’s (the “Company”) Restated Certificate of Incorporation. The amendment replaces the Company’s current Board structure, which consists of three classes of directors who are elected to staggered three-year terms of office, with a Board in which all directors are elected annually. The amendment will be effective upon filing an Amendment to the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State. The Company expects the amendment to be filed within the next 10 business days.

 

As a result of this action, the Board of Directors unanimously approved the amendment of the Company’s Bylaws to meet the requirements under Delaware law for removal of directors by stockholders of a corporation that does not have a classified board.

 

The amendments to the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation and its Bylaws referenced herein, are also stated in the Company’s Definitive 14A filed on March 28, 2005.  The Bylaws as amended may also be found via the “Governance” link under the “Investor Relations” link at the Company’s website located at www.power-one.com.
