Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year. |
On October 24, 2007, our board of directors approved an amendment and restatement of our
Restated Bylaws which revises Sections 7.1, 7.2, 7.5 and 7.7 to permit the issuance and transfer of
both certificated and uncertificated shares of capital stock. The applicable listing standards of
the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. require that all Nasdaq-listed securities be eligible for a “direct
registration program” operated by a clearing agency and the changes to our Restated Bylaws are
intended to satisfy those listing standards. The amendment and restatement also reflects the
recent change in our company name to “Lexicon Pharmaceuticals, Inc.”
The amendment and restatement is effective as of October 24, 2007. The foregoing summary of
changes does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by our Amended and
Restated Bylaws, a copy of which is attached to this report as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated
herein by reference.
