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

 

On August 14, 2007, the Board of Directors of Good Times Restaurants Inc. (the "Company") approved an amendment to the Restated Bylaws of the Company (the "Bylaws"), effective on August 14, 2007.  Article VIII of the Bylaws was amended to allow for the issuance and transfer of uncertificated shares of the Company's stock.  The amendment was adopted to comply with a requirement of the NASDAQ Stock Market that all listed securities be eligible for a direct registration system operated by a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by January 1, 2008.  The direct registration system allows investors to have securities registered in their names without the issuance of physical certificates.  Prior to the amendment to the Bylaws, the Bylaws had specified that the shares of the Company's stock were to be represented by certificates.

 

The foregoing summary of the amendment to the Bylaws is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the amended Bylaws, which are filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Exhibit A

Amendment to Restated Bylaws of Good Times Restaurants Inc.

Sections 1 and 2 of Article VIII of the Restated Bylaws of Good Times Restaurants Inc., adopted November 7, 1997, are hereby amended in their entirety to read as follows:

Section 1.    Issuance of Shares.  The shares of the corporation may be certificated or uncertificated, and the Board of Directors may authorize the issuance of uncertificated shares of some or all of the shares of any or all of its classes or series.  The corporation may adopt a system of issuance, recordation and transfer of its shares by electronic or other means not involving any issuance of certificates, including provisions for notice to purchasers or other shareholders in substitution for any required statements on certificates, and as may be required by applicable law and stock exchange or market rules.  Any system so adopted shall not become effective as to issued and outstanding certificated securities until the certificates therefor have been surrendered to the corporation.  In the event that the corporation issues shares of stock to be evidenced by certificates, the owner of such shares shall be entitled to a certificate, to be in such form as shall be prescribed by the Board of Directors, certifying the number of shares of the corporation owned by such shareholder.  The certificates for such shares shall be numbered in the order in which they shall be issued and shall be signed, in the name of the corporation, by the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer or President and by the Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer or Secretary of the corporation or by such officers as the Board of Directors may designate.  If the certificate is signed by a transfer agent or registrar, such signatures of the corporate officers may be by facsimile if authorized by the Board of Directors.  Every certificate surrendered to the corporation for exchange or transfer shall be canceled, and no new certificate or certificates shall be issued in exchange for any existing certificate until such existing certificate shall have been so canceled, except in cases provided for in Section 4 of this Article VIII.

Section 2. Transfer of Shares.  A transfer of shares on the books of the corporation may be authorized only by the shareholder holding such shares, or the shareholder's legal representative, or the shareholder's duly authorized attorney-in-fact, and, in the case of shares represented by certificates, upon surrender of the certificate or certificates for such shares or, in the case of uncertificated shares, by delivery of a written assignment in respect of the shares being transferred.  The corporation may treat as the absolute owner of shares of the corporation the person or persons in whose name such shares are registered on the books of the corporation.
