Item 5.03.  Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

(a)          On February 26, 2007, the Board of Directors of Valmont Industries, Inc. amended the company bylaws to provide that director nominees are elected by the vote of a majority of the votes cast with respect to the director at the meeting, unless the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected (a contested election), in which case directors will be elected by the vote of a plurality of the shares present and entitled to vote at the meeting. If a nominee is not elected and the nominee is an incumbent director, the director is required to promptly tender his or her resignation to the Board of Directors. The Governance and Nominating Committee will consider the tendered resignation and recommend to the Board whether to accept or reject the resignation or whether other action should be taken. The Board will act on the tendered resignation and publicly disclose its decision within 90 days from the certification of the election results. The director who tenders his or her resignation will not participate in the committee’s recommendation or the Board action regarding whether to accept or reject the tendered resignation. Prior to the amendment, a plurality of the votes cast in all elections was sufficient to elect director nominees. A copy of the bylaws as amended is attached as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by this reference.

Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.
