Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On June 18, 2007, the Board of Directors of Mechanical Technology Incorporated (the "Company") amended Article 5, Section 1 of the By-laws (the "By-laws") of the Company to allow for the issuance of uncertificated shares. The amendment was approved by the Company's shareholders at its annual meeting on June, 18, 2007.  The amendment is intended to enable the Company to participate in the Direct Registration System ("DRS") which is currently administered by the Depository Trust Company. DRS allows investors to have securities registered in their names without the issuance of physical certificates, and to electronically transfer securities to broker-dealers without transferring physical certificates. The By-laws still permit each registered shareholder to obtain a physical stock certificate upon written request.
In the same action, the Board of Directors of the Company also amended sections of the By-laws to address certain ministerial corrections and update such provision as necessary to, among other things, adopt the Company's proper fiscal year as January 1 to December 31, add and define the office of Chief Executive Officer, clarify director compensation terms, and permit notice of Board of Director meetings through email.
The By-laws, as amended, are being filed as Exhibit 3.3 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
