Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year
On March 11, 2011, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Parker Drilling Company (the
“Company”) adopted an amendment to the Company’s By-Laws to provide that committees of the
Board shall consist of one or more directors of the company. Specifically, Section 4.1 of
Article IV of the Company’s By-Laws was amended by replacing the first sentence of such section
in its entirety with the following:
“The Board of Directors may, by resolution passed by a majority of the whole Board,
designate one or more committees, each committee to consist of one or more of the
directors of the Corporation; provided, however, that the designation of any committee
consisting of a single director shall also be approved by the affirmative vote of a
majority of all of the directors determined by the Board to be independent in accordance
with applicable rules of the primary stock exchange on which the Corporation’s common
stock is then listed.”
A copy of the amended By-Laws, effective March 11, 2011, is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.2 and
is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits
