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

 

On December 21, 2011, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Hyperdynamics Corporation (the “Company”) approved an amendment (the “Bylaw Amendment”) to the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws.

 

Prior to the adoption of the Bylaw Amendment by the Board, the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws provided that special meetings of the stockholders may be called by the Secretary upon the written request in proper form of the holders of at least 20% of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote at such meeting.  The Bylaw Amendment increased the amount of shares of common stock necessary for stockholders to call a special meeting of stockholders from 20% to 30%.

 

The foregoing is intended to be only a summary, does not purport to be a complete description of the Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended, attached as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
