TABLE OF CONTENTS
ITEM 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On April 26, 2007, acting on the advice of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee,
the full Board of directors amended the Corporate Governance Guidelines and the Bylaws, effective
immediately, to eliminate the mandatory retirement age for directors.
With respect to the Bylaws, the Board deleted the second sentence of Section 3.2(b) (which required
that a director having attained age seventy-two (72) automatically cease to be a director effective
as of the annual meeting of shareholders immediately following the director’s seventy-second
birthday) and amended the last sentence of Section 3.2(d) of the Bylaws to make it refer to
compensation and expense reimbursements of any corporation employee who retires from the
corporation while serving as a director, without regard to age.
