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

 

 

The American Stock Exchange has adopted a rule that requires listed companies to be eligible for a direct registration system ( “DRS” ) by January 1, 2008. DRS refers to a system by which shares may be held in electronic, or book entry, form without the issuance of a physical stock certificate. At a regularly-scheduled meeting of the Board of Directors of iParty Corp. (the “Corporation” ) held on December 5, 2007, the Board of Directors adopted amended Bylaws in order to make the Corporation’s common stock DRS-eligible. As amended, Article V of the Bylaws permits the Corporation to issue certificated or uncertificated shares. Previously, the Corporation’s Bylaws contemplated only certificated shares. While the common stock will become DRS-eligible, the Corporation will continue to utilize physical stock certificates.

 

 

The Corporation’s amended and restated Bylaws are filed herewith as Exhibit 3.1, and amended Article V thereof is incorporated herein by reference.

 

 

Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.

 

(d)	Exhibits. The following exhibit is being filed herewith:
3.1			Amended and Restated Bylaws of iParty Corp.
