Item 5.03. | Amendment to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year |
Effective December 12, 2007, the Board of Directors of Grill Concepts, Inc. (the Company) amended Article VI of the Companys Bylaws to clarify the authority to issue uncertificated shares of the Companys stock and the procedures relating to the transfer of shares of the Companys common stock. The ability to issue uncertificated shares allows the Companys securities to be eligible for a direct registration system (DRS) as required by the Nasdaq Stock Market. The DRS will allow the Companys stockholders to register shares of the Companys common stock in their names without the issuance of physical certificates and will give the Companys stockholders the ability to electronically transfer shares to brokers. The Board also amended Article III of the Bylaws to clarify the authority of the Board to fix compensation of Directors.
The Amended and Restated Bylaws are attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this report and are incorporated by reference.
