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

Effective February 22, 2005, the Board of Directors of Boston Acoustics, Inc. (the “Company”) amended and restated the Company’s bylaws to implement certain provisions of the Massachusetts Business Corporation Act (the “MBCA”), enacted as Chapter 156D of the Massachusetts General Laws, which became effective on July 1, 2004. Previously, the Company was subject to the provisions of the Massachusetts Business Corporation Law (the “MBCL”), or Chapter 156B of the Massachusetts General Laws. The Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) include, among other things, the following modifications of the Company’s bylaws as previously in effect:

•

The Bylaws have been amended to provide that the annual meeting of the shareholders will be held at a time fixed by the Company’s Board of Directors, rather than on the third Tuesday in August.

•

The Bylaws have been amended to provide that that notice to shareholders of an upcoming annual or special meeting be given no fewer than 7 days or more than 60 days prior to the date of the meeting, adding to the previously authorized 7 days notice prior to the date of the meeting.

•

The Bylaws have been amended to give the Company’s Board of Directors flexibility to set the record date 70 days before an event, rather than the previously authorized 60 days. The Bylaws have also been amended to require the Board to set a new record date if a meeting of the shareholders is adjourned to a date more than 120 days after the original date of the meeting.

•

The Bylaws have been amended to provide that directors may participate in or conduct regular or special meetings by means of a conference telephone or similar communication equipment.

•

The Bylaws, as amended and restated, provide that, in addition to traditional delivery methods, a notice of an annual or special shareholder meeting may be delivered to a shareholder by electronic transmission.

•

The Bylaws, as amended and restated, state that, unless otherwise provided in the appointment form, a proxy is valid for a period of 11 months, amending the previous provision which stated that no proxy be dated more than 6 months before the meeting named there in.

•

The Bylaws have been amended to contain specified procedures and requirements for indemnification of directors and officers that parallel the provisions of the MBCA, including a provision that the Company shall indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law.

•

The Bylaws have been amended to replace references to the “clerk” with references to the “secretary” and references to “stock” and “stockholder” with references to “share” and “shareholder.”

The above summary of the amendments made to the bylaws is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Bylaws, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
