Item 5.03. |
|
Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year. |
On November 17, 2010, the Board of Directors of Dawson Geophysical Company (the Company)
amended the Companys Second Amended and Restated Bylaws (the Bylaws) to replace Article II,
Section 2 with a new provision, which allows the Companys Board of Directors (the Board) to
designate the date of the Companys annual meetings of shareholders. Previously, the Bylaws
provided a fixed date for the annual meeting.
Pursuant to the new Bylaw provision, the Board has designated that the Companys upcoming
annual meeting of shareholders will take place on January 18, 2011, rather than January 25, 2011,
the date previously set by the Bylaws as the meeting date.
The foregoing description of this amended provision of the Bylaws is qualified in its entirety
by reference to Amendment No. 1 to the Bylaws, which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current
Report.
