Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
Effective July 30, 2012, Pioneer Drilling Company, a Texas corporation (the “Company”), changed its name to Pioneer Energy Services Corp. and its ticker symbol from “PDC” to “PES.”
The name change was effected by the Company filing Restated Articles of Incorporation with New Amendments with the Secretary of State of the State of Texas. The Company's Restated Articles of Incorporation(the “Restated Articles”) reflect the Company's new name and omit all references to the “Texas Business Corporation Act” and the “Texas Miscellaneous Corporation Laws Act” and replace such references with references to the “Texas Business Organizations Code.” A copy of the Restated Articles is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
Effective July 30, 2012, the Board of Directors of the Company amended and restated the Company's Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Amended and Restated Bylaws”) to reflect the Company's new name and that the Texas Business Corporation Act was superseded by the Texas Business Organizations Code. A copy of the Amended and Restated Bylaws is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.2 and incorporated herein by reference.
The Company's common stock will continue to trade on the New York Stock Exchange, but will trade under the new ticker symbol “PES.” In connection with the name change, the Company's common stock was assigned the new CUSIP number 723664 108. The Company's outstanding common stock certificates are not affected by the name change; they continue to be valid and do not need to be exchanged.
