Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year
On November 30, 2007, the Board of Directors of Southern Missouri Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") approved an amendment to Article II of the Company's bylaws, for the purpose of establishing provisions for advance notice of stockholder proposals for business to be transacted at annual meetings and director nominations submitted by stockholders. The Board also approved amendments to Article VII of the Company's bylaws to allow for the issuance of uncertificated shares of the Company's capital stock, in order to comply with new rules adopted by NASDAQ that require listed companies to be eligible for a direct registration system ("DRS") by January 1, 2008. The DRS permits a stockholder's ownership to be recorded and maintained on the books of the issuer or its transfer agent without issuance of a physical stock certificate. In addition, the Board approved other amendments to Articles II and III of the Company's bylaws that are mainly intended to conform the amended provisions with current Missouri law.
A copy of the Company's bylaws, as amended on November 30, 2007, is included as Exhibit 3.1 to this report.
