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

On June 13, 2013, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Magellan Petroleum Corporation (the "Company") approved an amendment to the Company's By-Laws (the "By-Law Amendment") that allows the Board to permit stockholders to participate in meetings of the Company's stockholders by means of remote communication in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law. Specifically, the By-Law Amendment, which is set forth in a new paragraph under Article II - Meetings of Stockholders, Section 1 - Place of Meetings, of the Company's By-Laws, provides that the Board may, in its sole discretion, determine that future stockholder meetings will not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication in accordance with Section 211(a)(2) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, and that if authorized by the Board in its sole discretion, and subject to such guidelines and procedures as the Board may adopt, stockholders and proxy holders not physically present at a future meeting of stockholders may, by means of remote communication (a) participate in a meeting of stockholders; and (b) be deemed present in person and vote at a meeting of stockholders whether such meeting is to be held at a designated place or solely by means of remote communication, provided that (i) the Company implements reasonable measures to verify that each person deemed present and permitted to vote at the meeting by means of remote communication is a stockholder or proxy holder; (ii) the Company implements reasonable measures to provide such stockholders and proxy holders a reasonable opportunity to participate in the meeting and to vote on matters submitted to the stockholders, including an opportunity to read or hear the proceedings of the meeting substantially concurrently with those proceedings; and (iii) if any stockholder or proxy holder votes or takes other action at the meeting by means of remote communication, a record of that vote or other action must be maintained by the Company.
The above description of the By-Law Amendment is qualified in its entirety by the complete text of the By-Law Amendment filed as Exhibit 3.2 to this report and incorporated herein by reference. A complete copy of the By-Laws, as amended June 13, 2013, is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this report.
