On
December 12, 2007, the Board of
Directors of Urstadt Biddle Properties Inc. (the "Company") adopted amendments
to certain provisions of Article VI, Sections 6.01, 6.03 and 6.04 of the
Company's Bylaws (the "Amendments"). The purpose of the Amendments is to make
all classes or series of stock of the Company (the “Company Stock”) eligible for
participation in a Direct Registration System operated by a clearing agency
(such as the one offered by the Depository Trust Company), in compliance with
recently amended NYSE rules. To be eligible for a Direct Registration System,
the Company must permit electronic direct registration of the Company Stock
in
an investor's name on the books of the transfer agent or the Company and
similarly allow the Company Stock to be transferred between a transfer agent
and
broker. Accordingly, the Amendments were adopted to permit the
issuance, recordation and transfer of Company Stock without the issuance of
physical certificates.
The
Amended and Restated Bylaws are
attached to this Current Report as Exhibit 99.1, and Sections 6.01, 6.03, and
6.04 of amended Article VI are incorporated into this Item 5.03 by this
reference. The description of the Amendments is qualified in its entirety by
reference to Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
As
of the date hereof, the Company has not made any determination whether or not
to
implement electronic direct registration for the Company
Stock.
