Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal
Year.
(a) Amendment to Bylaws
The New York Stock Exchange recently instituted a new listing requirement
that all listed companies must be eligible to participate in the Direct Registry System, a
stock registry system that reflects stock ownership in a company by book entry rather
than by actual stock certificates. In order for a company to participate in the Direct
Registry System, that company must have the authority to issue stock in non-certificated
form. Accordingly, at the regular board meeting of Lithia Motors, Inc., held November 8,
2007, the board of directors amended Article IV of its Bylaws, authorizing the issuance of
non-certificated shares. The amended and restated Bylaws are attached as an exhibit to
this report.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
