Item
5.03 AMENDMENTS TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OR
BYLAWS;
CHANGES
IN FISCAL YEAR.
Effective
February 19, 2009, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of SCANA Corporation
(the “Company”) amended the second sentence of Article II, Section 2 of the
Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company adopted December 13, 2000 (the
"Bylaws") to change the minimum share ownership requirement for Company
directors from the current requirement of at least 100 shares of the Company's
common stock to a requirement that directors must own a number of shares of the
Company's common stock equal to the number of shares granted in the five most
recent annual retainers for directors. This section of the Bylaws was
further amended to provide that (a) persons serving as independent directors as
of February 1, 2009 are required to meet the minimum share ownership requirement
by the last day of February 2014, and persons who are subsequently elected as
directors are required to meet such requirement within six years following the
date of their election to the Board and (b) the Nominating Committee of the
Board of Directors, or such other Board committee as the Board shall designate,
has the discretion to grant a temporary waiver of such minimum share ownership
requirements upon demonstration by a director that, due to a financial hardship
or other good reason, he or she cannot meet the minimum share ownership
requirements.
