ITEM 5.03 AMENDMENTS TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OR BYLAWS; CHANGE IN FISCAL
YEAR.
On July 12, 2007, the Board of Directors of Syms Corp (the
"Company") adopted an amendment (the "Amendment") to Sections 6 and 7 of Article
IX of the Company's By-Laws. The full text of the Amendment is set forth in
annexed Exhibit 3(ii) and the following description is qualified by reference to
the full text of the Amendment. The By-Laws previously stated that the Chairman
of the Board shall be the chief executive officer and the chief operating
officer of the Company and the President shall assist the Chairman. In general,
the Amendment was designed to make the Company's By-Laws conform to the
Company's operating practice by providing that the Chairman is not automatically
the chief operating officer and that the President, and not the Chairman of the
Board, will be the chief executive officer of the Company unless the Board has
designated the Chairman to serve in such capacity and that. The Board has made
no such designation.
