Item 5.03 | Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year |
On December 18, 2007, the Board of Directors of Silicon Graphics, Inc. (the Company) amended Article IV, Sections 1 and 2 of the Bylaws of the Company to allow for the issuance and transfer of uncertificated shares of the Companys stock. The amendments ensure that the Company is eligible to participate in the Direct Registration System, currently administered by the Depository Trust Company, as required by the rules of The NASDAQ Stock Market. The Direct Registration System allows investors to have securities registered in their names without the issuance of physical certificates and to electronically transfer securities to broker-dealers in order to effect transactions.
The above summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the amendment to the Bylaws filed as Exhibit 3.2 hereto and hereby incorporated by reference.
