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

On October 22, 2013, the Board of Directors of Accellent Inc. (the “Company”), approved a change to the Company’s fiscal year end from December 31 to the date determined by an annual reporting cycle whereby each fiscal year will typically consist of four 13-week quarters. The change in the Company’s fiscal year end will become effective for the Company’s 2014 fiscal year, which will begin January 1, 2014 and end January 3, 2015. In fiscal year 2014, the Company will report an additional week in the fourth quarter resulting in a 53-week fiscal year with 368 days. Because there will be no gap between the end of the Company’s 2013 fiscal year and the beginning of its 2014 fiscal year, the Company will not file a transition report. The change in fiscal year end will be described in a note to the Company’s consolidated financials on its Form 10-Q for the first quarter of 2014.
