Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year
The Board of Directors of H&E Equipment Services, Inc. (the “Company”) amended Article VII of
the Company’s By-laws (the “By-laws”), effective as of June 5, 2007, to allow for the issuance of
uncertified shares. By being able to issue uncertified shares, the Company is now eligible to
participate in the Direct Registration System, as required by The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC. The
Direct Registration System, which is currently administered by The Depository Trust Company, 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. The amendment to the By-laws also provides that each registered stockholder shall be
entitled to a stock certificate upon written request to the transfer agent or registrar of the
Company.
The full text of the By-laws, as amended, is filed as an Exhibit to this Current Report.
