Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
Amendment of Articles of Incorporation
On April 19, 2017, we filed Articles of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation (the “Articles of Amendment”) with the Minnesota Secretary of State changing our name from “Energizer Resources Inc.” to NextSource Materials Inc.” as part of our rebranding effort and to better reflect our evolution from an exploration-stage company into a mine-development company. The name change became effective upon the filing of the Articles of Amendment on April 19, 2017. Our shareholders and board of directors previously approved the name change and filing of the Articles of Amendment. The foregoing description of the amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Articles of Amendment, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 3.1.
Amendment of Bylaws
Effective  April 19, 2017, we amended our bylaws (the “Bylaws”) to reflect the name change by replacing the reference to “Energizer Resources Inc.” with “NextSource Materials Inc.” in the heading of the Bylaws.  Our board of directors previously approved the amendment to our bylaws, contingent upon the filing and effectiveness of the Articles of Amendment. A copy of our Bylaws, as amended, is filed herewith as Exhibit 3.2.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On April 24, 2017, we issued a press release announcing, (i) the commencement of trading under our new name and corresponding new ticker symbols on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the U.S. OTC Market Group (OTCQB), and (ii) the revision of Phase 1 of our mine development plan for our Molo graphite project in Madagascar. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in the press release attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto shall not be deemed to be "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
