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

(a) Amendments to By-Laws.

On March 5, 2013, the Board of Directors of Qualstar Corporation, a California corporation (the “Company”), approved amendments to the Company’s bylaws, effective as of March 5, 2013. A copy of the Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended by the amendments adopted on March 5, 2013 (the “Bylaws”), is attached to this report as Exhibit 3.2, and the description of the amendments set forth below is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Bylaws as set forth in Exhibit 3.2.

The Bylaws were revised to, among other things, set forth certain procedural and information disclosure requirements for shareholders to follow when seeking to have a special meeting of shareholders called or seeking to have the shareholders approve a corporate action by written consent of the shareholders without a meeting. In addition, the provisions relating to the indemnification available to directors, officers, employees and other agents of the Company were revised to, among other things, provide that indemnification would be provided to the Company’s directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by California law as the law currently exists and to the extent that it provides broader indemnification in the future.

In addition to the foregoing, there were various other “clean-up” changes to the Bylaws, including, but not limited to, grammatical and other typographical corrections, formatting changes, revisions to headings, titles and captions, and capitalization of defined terms.
