Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

The disclosures under Item 5.03 are incorporated herein by reference.

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

The Board of Directors (“Board”) of Diversified Restaurant Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) adopted Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company at its board meeting on August 23, 2012.  The Amended and Restated Bylaws are effective as of August 23, 2012, and a copy of the Amended and Restated Bylaws is attached as Exhibit 3.2 to this filing.  The revisions to the bylaws include both substantive and ministerial changes.  The substantive changes are described below; however, this summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibit 3.2.

Article II – Capital Stock

Section 2.02 – Transfer.  We added language to the effect that transfers of stock are not valid against the Company until registered on the Company’s books.

Section 2.03 – Representation; Proxy.  We deleted language that required shares to have been transferred to a person at least 30 days prior to a stockholder meeting to be eligible to vote.

Section 2.10 – Issuance.  We removed the requirement that the Board issue stock for no less than par value and replaced it with the language allowing the Board to issue shares for such consideration as may be determined by the Board from time to time.

Article III – Meetings of Stockholders

Section 3.01 – Annual Meeting.  We removed the requirement that the annual meeting be held within 5 months of the end of the fiscal year and replaced it language providing that the meeting shall be held at such time and place and on such date as determined by the Board.

Section 3.04 – Notice of Meetings.  We consolidated the notice provisions previously contained in various sections of the Bylaws and allowed for notice of meetings by electronic transmission (as opposed to telegraph).

Section 3.05 – Quorum.  We changed the quorum requirement for stockholders’ meetings from a simple majority to 1/3 of the issued and outstanding shares.

Section 3.06 – Voting.  We added a majority voting requirement for directors provided, however, that if the number of nominees for director exceeds the number of directors to be elected, directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares represented in person or by proxy.

Section 3.07 – Action Without Meeting.  We added the ability of the stockholders to act without a meeting by majority written consent.

Section 3.08 – Conduct of Meetings; Organization; Director Nominations and Other Stockholder Proposals.  We added detailed procedural provisions regarding the conduct of meetings, the submission of stockholder business, and the nomination by stockholders of candidates for election to the Board.

Article V – Committees of Directors

Section 5.01 – Committees.  We revised the committee provisions to require an Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.  Committees are authorized and charged with adopting charters that are consistent with applicable exchange requirements.

Article VI – Officers

Section 6.01 – Generally. We removed the requirement that the Company’s president be elected from among the Board.

Section 6.02 – Appointment; Term.  We deleted language that would have required a board member also serving as president to resign as a board member in the event he or she ceased to hold the office of president.

Section 6.06 – President. We removed the requirement that the president preside at all board meetings.

Article IX – Indemnification

Section 9.01 Indemnification of Officers and Directors, Employees, and Other Persons. We revised the indemnification provisions to include enhanced protections, including advance of expenses in defense of litigation, as permitted by Nevada law.

Article XI – Amendments to Bylaws

Section 11.01 Amendments by Stockholders and Section 11.02 Amendments by Board of Directors.  The previous provision allowed for amendment of the bylaws by the Board but provided no provision for amendment by stockholders or protection of specific provisions adopted by stockholders.  We amended this provision to grant the Board and stockholders power to amend the bylaws.  We also granted the stockholders the right to specify provisions that cannot be altered by the Board acting alone.

Article XII. Election Not to be Governed by NRS 78.378 to 78.3793, Inclusive

We added a provisions electing, on behalf of the Company, not to be governed by, and to otherwise opt out of, the provisions of NRS 78.378 to 78.3793, inclusive, relating to the acquisition of controlling interest in the Company.

Notwithstanding anything in the immediately preceding paragraph to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors to be elected to the Board of Directors at an annual meeting is increased and there is no public announcement by the corporation naming the nominees for the additional directorships at least one hundred (100) days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, a Notice of Nomination shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for the additional directorships, if it shall be delivered at the corporate headquarters of the corporation, addressed to the attention of the Secretary, not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the corporation.
 
The Notice of Nomination shall set forth (i) the name and record address of the stockholder and/or beneficial owner proposing to make nominations, as they appear on the corporation’s books, (ii) the class and number of shares of stock held of record and beneficially by such stockholder and/or such beneficial owner, (iii) a representation that the stockholder is a holder of record of stock of the corporation entitled to vote at the meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to propose such nomination, (iv) all information regarding each stockholder nominee that would be required to be set forth in a definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act, and the written consent of each such stockholder nominee to being named in a proxy statement as a nominee and to serve if elected and (v) all other information that would be required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission if the person proposing such nominations were a participant in a solicitation subject to Section 14 of the Exchange Act.  The corporation may require any stockholder nominee to furnish such other information as it may reasonably require to determine the eligibility of such stockholder nominee to serve as a Director of the corporation.  The person presiding over the meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that any proposed nomination of a Stockholder Nominee was not made in accordance with the foregoing procedures and, if he should so determine, he shall so declare to the meeting and the defective nomination shall be disregarded.
 
The Notice of Business shall set forth (i) the name and record address of the stockholder and/or beneficial owner proposing such Stockholder Business, as they appear on the corporation’s books, (ii) the class and number of shares of stock held of record and beneficially by such stockholder and/or such beneficial owner, (iii) a representation that the stockholder is a holder of record of stock of the corporation entitled to vote at the meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to propose such business, (iv) a brief description of the Stockholder Business desired to be brought before the annual meeting, the text of the proposal (including the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration and, in the event that such business includes a proposal to amend the Bylaws, the language of the proposed amendment, and the reasons for conducting such Stockholder Business at the annual meeting, (v) any material interest of the stockholder and/or beneficial owner in such Stockholder Business and (vi) all other information that would be required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission if the person proposing such Stockholder Business were a participant in a solicitation subject to Section 14 of the Exchange Act.  Notwithstanding anything in these Bylaws to the contrary, no business shall be conducted at the annual meeting of stockholders except in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 3.08; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 3.08(d) shall be deemed to preclude discussion by any stockholder of any business properly brought before the annual meeting in accordance with said procedure.  Nevertheless, it is understood that Stockholder Business may be excluded if the exclusion of such Stockholder Business is permitted by the applicable regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the corporation’s notice of meeting.  The person presiding over the meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting, that business was not properly brought before the meeting in accordance with the foregoing procedures and, if he should so determine, he shall so declare to the meeting and any such business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.08, if the stockholder (or a qualified representative of the stockholder) does not appear at the annual or special meeting of stockholders to present the Stockholder Nomination or the Stockholder Business, as applicable, such nomination shall be disregarded and such business shall not be transacted, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the corporation.
 
For purposes of this Section 3.08, “Public Disclosure” shall be deemed to be first made when disclosure of such date of the annual or special meeting of stockholders, as the case may be, is first made in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Services, Associated Press, Reuters, PR Newswire or comparable national news service, or in a document publicly filed by the corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Sections 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 3.08.  Nothing in this Section 3.08 shall be deemed to affect any rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock of the corporation pursuant to any applicable provision of the Articles of Incorporation.

(b)           Written notice of special meetings of the Board of Directors shall be given to each Director at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the time of any such meeting. Any Director may waive notice of any meeting.  The attendance of a Director at any meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where a Director attends a meeting for the purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.  Neither the business to be transacted at nor the purpose of any special meeting of the Board of Directors needs to be specified in the notice or waiver of notice of such meeting, except that notice shall be given of any proposed amendment to the Bylaws if it is to be adopted at any special meeting or with respect to any other matter where notice is required by statute.
 
Section 4.06. Notices; Waiver .
 
(a)           Whenever notice is required to be given to any director by applicable law, the Articles of Incorporation or these by-laws, such notice shall be deemed given effectively if given in person or by telephone, mail addressed to such director at such director's address as it appears on the records of the corporation, facsimile, e-mail or by other means of electronic transmission.
 
(b)           Whenever the giving of any notice to directors is required by applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these by-laws, a waiver thereof, given by the director entitled to the notice, whether before or after such notice is required, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance by a director at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting except when the director attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting was not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special Board of Directors or committee meeting need be specified in any waiver of notice.
