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

On May 15, 2012, the board of directors (the “Board”) of HomeTown Bankshares Corporation (the “Company”) approved an amendment and restatement to the Bylaws of the Company (the “Bylaws”), which became effective on the date of the Board approval. The Bylaws were amended to, among other things:

 

 

require advance notice of shareholder proposals to transact business at shareholder meetings and set the terms with which such notices must comply;

 

 

permit the issuance and transfer of shares of the Company’s stock without physical certificates through book-entry positions;

 

 

clarify that in order to be included in the Company’s proxy materials, shareholders must comply with the terms of Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and

 

 

eliminate the right of the Company’s shareholders to call special meetings of shareholders (prior this amendment and restatement, the Bylaws permitted the shareholders to call special meetings upon the request of at least 20% of the holders of the Company’s outstanding shares).

The description of the changes to the Bylaws contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Bylaws, as amended and restated, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.2, which is incorporated herein by reference.
