Group Inc. (the &#147;Company&#148;) approved amendments to Article II, Section 9 of the
Company&#146;s By-Laws that implement a majority vote standard for uncontested
elections of directors.&nbsp; Prior to this amendment, the standard for elections of
directors was a plurality vote standard.&nbsp; The plurality vote standard will
remain for contested elections.&nbsp; The By-Laws as amended provide that, except
where other provision is made by law, the Certificate of Incorporation, or the
By-Laws, at all meetings of the stockholders, all matters will be decided by
the vote of a majority of shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to
vote thereof. &nbsp;The amendments to the By-Laws are effective March 4, 2009. </font></font></p>

reflect the change to a majority vote standard.</font></font></p>

Item 5.03
Amendments to Articles
of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year
.
On March 4, 2009, the Board of Directors of Alamo
Group Inc. (the "Company") approved amendments to Article II, Section 9 of the
Company's By-Laws that implement a majority vote standard for uncontested
elections of directors.  Prior to this amendment, the standard for elections of
directors was a plurality vote standard.  The plurality vote standard will
remain for contested elections.  The By-Laws as amended provide that, except
where other provision is made by law, the Certificate of Incorporation, or the
By-Laws, at all meetings of the stockholders, all matters will be decided by
the vote of a majority of shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to
vote thereof.  The amendments to the By-Laws are effective March 4, 2009.
The Company also adopted a director resignation guideline
which requires a director to tender a resignation to the Board in the event
that, in an uncontested election, he or she received more withhold votes than
for votes. The Board would then act on the resignation and publish its decision
within 90 days. This guideline has been retained, with appropriate revisions to
reflect the change to a majority vote standard.
The full text of the By-Laws, as amended, is filed as
Exhibit 3.1 to this Form 8−K and is incorporated herein by reference.
