Item 5.03.

 

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

 

Effective June 1, 2011, the Board of Directors of Thomas Group, Inc. (the “the Company”) adopted Amendment No. 2 (the “Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated By-Laws of the Company (as previously amended, the “By-Laws”).  Previously, at a special meeting on May 26, 2011, the Board of Directors of the Company, as permitted by the By-Laws and Section 158 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, adopted a resolution providing that shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.01 per share, will be uncertificated shares and, accordingly, all shares of the Company’s common stock issued thereafter will no longer be represented by a share certificate.  The ability to issue uncertificated shares allows the Company to become eligible to participate in the Direct Registration System that is currently administered by the Depository Trust Company. The Direct Registration System permits investors to have securities registered in their names without the issuance of physical certificates, and the electronic transfer of securities to effect transactions without transferring physical certificates.

 

The Amendment amends the following provisions of the By-Laws:

 

·                                          Article VII, Section 1, to remove any requirement that the Company issue a share certificate to a shareholder of the Company upon the shareholder’s request;

 

·                                          Article VII, Section 5, to clarify that a replacement share certificate may only be issued if the Company’s common stock is certificated; and

 

·                                          Article III, Section 8, to permit notice of meetings of the Board of Directors to be given by electronic transmission.

 

A copy of the Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1.
