Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Changes in Fiscal Year.

On June 30, 2008, LOUD Technologies, Inc. (“Loud”) amended its Restated Articles of Incorporation with the Second Articles of Amendment to its Restated Articles of Incorporation (the “Second Amendment”) and the Third Articles of Amendment to its Restated Articles of Incorporation (the “Third Amendment”). The Second Amendment and the Third Amendment were approved by the requisite 2/3 of the outstanding stock entitled to vote at Loud’s annual shareholder meeting held June 30, 2008. Copies of the Second Amendment and the Third Amendment as filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Washington are attached as exhibits to this current report on Form 8-K.

The Second Amendment amended Loud’s Restated Articles of Incorporation to adopt a new provision that provides that Loud may adopt certain amendments to its Restated Articles of Incorporation without shareholder action to the extent permitted by Section 23B.10.020 of the Washington Business Corporation Act, to change the company name to “Loud Technologies Inc.” and to effect an adjustment to Loud’s issued and authorized common stock related to a 1-for-5 reverse stock split effected on November 17, 2005 (the “Reverse Split”). Book adjustments to Loud’s common stock pursuant to the Reverse Split were initially made effective upon the close of the market on November 17, 2005.

The Third Amendment amended Loud’s Restated Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Loud’s common stock from 8 million to 12 million to have sufficient authorized shares of common stock to satisfy Loud’s obligations under that certain $7.5 million Convertible Senior Subordinated Secured Note due 2012 (the “Note”) issued to Sun Mackie, LLC on March 18, 2008.
