Item 5.03

Amendment to By-laws

 

As of March 15, 2010, in accordance with authority granted under the articles of organization and by-laws of Enterprise Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”), and pursuant to applicable Massachusetts law, the Board of Directors of the Company voted to amend and restate the Company’s by-laws in their entirety, which became effective upon the Board’s adoption of such vote.  The purposes for such amendment and restatement of the Company’s by-laws were generally as follows:  (1) to specify that a required qualification for membership on the Board of Directors is that a member must either currently or in the past have maintained a residence, business interest or had community involvement within Massachusetts or New Hampshire; (2) to remove certain obsolete means of providing notice to Board members of special directors meetings (i.e., removal of notice by telegraph or telex as a permissible means of notification); (3) to clarify the extent of permissible delegation of authority from the Board of Directors to the Company’s chief executive officer to appoint other officers of the Company and to provide that the chief executive officer may further delegate such authority with respect to non-executive management personnel; and (4) to clarify the required procedures applicable to any resignation by an officer of the Company to be consistent with proposed changes to the appointment process.

 

A copy of the Company’s Amended and Restated By-laws, as approved and adopted by the Board of Directors, which is marked to show the specific changes to the language of the Company’s by-laws as they were in effect immediately prior to such amendment and restatement, is included as Exhibit 3.2 to this report.
