Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On November 7, 2007, the Board of Directors of Webster Preferred Capital Corporation (the
Corporation) amended Article VI of the Corporations Bylaws to permit the issuance and transfer
of the Corporations shares in uncertificated form. By being able to issue uncertificated shares,
the Company may participate in a direct registration program as required by The NASDAQ Stock
Market LLC rules by January 1, 2008. Participation in a direct registration program enables
investors to have securities registered in their names without the issuance of physical
certificates and allows investors to electronically transfer securities to broker-dealers in order
to effect transactions without the risks and delays associated with transferring physical
certificates.
The foregoing description of the adopted amendments to the Corporations Bylaws does not purport to
be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Corporations
amended Bylaws, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and
incorporated herein by reference.
