The Board of Directors of Matrix Service Company (the “Company”) amended Sections 1, 3 and 4 of Article VI of the Company’s By-laws (the “By-laws”), effective as of November 28, 2007, to allow for the issuance of uncertificated shares. By being able to issue uncertificated shares, the Company may now participate in the Direct Registration System, which is currently administered by The Depository Trust Company. The Direct Registration System allows investors to have securities registered in their names without the issuance of physical certificates and allows investors to electronically transfer securities to broker-dealers in order to effect transactions without the risks and delays associated with transferring physical certificates.
NASDAQ rules require NASDAQ listed securities to be eligible for a Direct Registration Program by January 1, 2008. The Company will be in compliance with those rules by December 31, 2007 once the Company notifies its transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company, n.a., that the Company desires to enroll its common stock in the Direct Registration Program and the Company’s transfer agent and The Depository Trust Company process that request.
The full text of the Company’s By-laws, as amended, is filed as Exhibit 3 to this Current Report, and Article VI thereof, as amended, is incorporated into this Item 5.03 by reference.
