Item 5.03.
Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
 

On December 14, 2010, North Valley Bancorp (the “Company”), a California corporation and the parent of North Valley Bank, a California banking corporation, filed a Certificate of Amendment of the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of North Valley Bancorp with the California Secretary of State. The sole purpose of the amendment was to give effect to the one-for-five reverse stock split approved by the shareholders on July 16, 2010. As approved by the Board of Directors of the Company, and as stated in the Amendment, the one-for-five reverse stock split is effective as of 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time on December 28, 2010 (the “Effective Date”).

 

The Company’s trading symbol on the NASDAQ Global Select Market is “NOVB.” For a period of 20 trading days after the Effective Date, in order to reflect completion of the one-for-five reverse stock split, NASDAQ is expected to append the character “D” to the Company’s trading symbol so it will appear as “NOVBD.” In addition, the shares of common stock will trade under a new CUSIP number after the Effective Date.

 

A copy of the Certificate of Amendment of the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of North Valley Bancorp is filed as Exhibit 99.181 to this Current Report and is incorporated herein by this reference.
