Item
5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal
Year.
On
December 19, 2007, the Board of Directors of Pennsylvania Commerce Bancorp,
Inc.
approved amendments to its Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws which permit
the
issuance by the Company of uncertificated or book entry shares of its
stock. The action was taken in compliance with Pennsylvania law and
Nasdaq Rule 4350(l) which requires that securities listed on Nasdaq be eligible
for a direct registration program operated by a clearing agency registered
under
Section 17A of the Exchange Act. A direct registration program
permits stock ownership to be recorded on the books of a company or the
company’s transfer agent without the issuance of physical stock
certificates. Commerce plans to continue issuing stock
certificates.
The
amendments to Commerce’s Bylaws are effective immediately and the amendment to
the Articles of Incorporation will be effective upon filing with the
Pennsylvania Department of State. The amended and restated Articles
and Bylaws are attached to this Form 8-K as Exhibits 3(i) and 3(ii) respectively
and are incorporated herein by reference.
