On May 3, 2007, shareholders of Southwest Gas Corporation (the "Company") approved the 2006 Restricted Stock/Unit Plan at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The terms and conditions of the plan, together with the initial number of restricted stock units awarded to named executive officers, were disclosed in the 2007 Proxy Statement.

 

 

 

On May 2, 2007, the Board of Directors approved an amendment to Article XIII, Section 1 of the Company’s Bylaws to permit the direct registration of stock under appropriate direct entry methods. The amendment is as follows:

 

ARTICLE XIII

 

CERTIFICATES OF STOCK

 

Section 1.  Certificates of stock shall be of such form and device as the Board of Directors may lawfully direct, and shall be entitled to have a certificate signed by the genuine or facsimile signatures of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer or the President or any authorized Vice President and the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary. Each certificate shall express on its face its number, date of issuance, the number of shares for which and the person to whom it is issued, the kind of shares represented by said certificate, and such other matters as may be required by law. Certificates of stock may be issued prior to full payment, in harmony with all permits issued by regulatory authorities having jurisdiction in the premises, or as is otherwise allowed by law, but any certificate issued prior to full payment must show on its face what amount has been paid thereon.

 

The amendment was effective on May 2, 2007.
