Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
 
On December 8, 2010, the Board of Directors of Rosetta Resources Inc. (the “Company”) adopted and approved certain amendments (the “Amendments”) to the advance notice provisions contained in the Company’s amended and restated bylaws (the “Bylaws”).  The Bylaws require a stockholder to provide notice in proper written form with respect to (1) any business matter such stockholder proposes to bring before any annual meeting of stockholders and (2) any person whom a stockholder proposes to nominate for election as a director at any annual meeting of stockholders or at any special meeting of stockholders called for the purpose of electing directors.  The Amendments modify the advance notice provisions in the Company’s Bylaws to, among other things, require additional disclosure of derivative, swap or other transactions for the purpose or effect of giving a person economic risk similar to ownership of shares of common stock of the Company, without regard to whether such transactions convey voting rights or are capable of being settled in shares of the Company.  The purpose of the Amendments is to provide the Company and its stockholders with adequate information to become informed and respond to proposals and nominations brought by stockholders for consideration at annual or special meetings of the Company’s stockholders.

The foregoing description of the Amendments is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the amended and restated bylaws of the Company, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Exhibit 3.2 to this Form 8-K is a marked copy of the amended and restated bylaws of the Company showing the changes effected by the amendments on December 8, 2010.
