ARTICLES OF AMENDMENT
TO THE
AMENDED AND RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
OF
PALM HARBOR HOMES, INC.
Pursuant to the provisions of Section 607.1006 of the Florida Statutes (the “Act”), this Florida Profit Corporation adopts the following amendments to its Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation:
ARTICLE ONE
The name of the corporation is Palm Harbor Homes, Inc.
ARTICLE TWO
The following amendment to the Articles of Incorporation was adopted by the shareholders of the corporation on September 28, 1994 and June 30, 1998. The Amendment adds back the language authorizing 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock as approved by the shareholders of the corporation on September 28, 1994, which language was erroneously removed by the Articles of Amendment filed with the State of Florida on July 6, 1998 (the “1998 Amendment”). The shareholder vote that authorized the 1998 Amendment only increased the number of authorized Common Stock to 50,000,000 and did not authorize the removal of the language authorizing the Preferred Stock.
1. This Amendment deletes Article Third of the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, in its entirety and replaces it with the following:
Third, (a) The Corporation shall have authority to issue two classes of capital stock designated Common Stock and Preferred Stock. The total number of shares of capital stock that the Corporation is authorized to issue is 52,000,000 shares, consisting of 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 2,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share.
(b) The Board of Directors of the Corporation may issue the Preferred Stock in one or more series consisting of such number of shares and having such preferences, conversion and other rights, voting powers, restrictions and limitations as to dividends, qualifications and terms and conditions of redemption of stock as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine when designating such series.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned executive officer of Palm Harbor Homes, Inc. does hereby execute this Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation as of the 13th day of May, 2010.
| /s/ Kelly Tacke |
