Item 5.03. Amendment to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in
Fiscal Year
Effective November 26, 2007, the Board of Directors of Houston American Energy
Corp. (the "Company") amended Article V of the Company's Bylaws to clarify the
authority to issue uncertificated shares of the Company's stock and the
procedures relating to the transfer of shares of the Company's common stock. The
ability to issue uncertificated shares allows the Company's securities to be
eligible for a direct registration system ("DRS") as required by the Nasdaq
Stock Market. The DRS will allow the Company's stockholders to register shares
of the Company's common stock in their names without the issuance of physical
certificates and will give the Company's stockholders the ability to
electronically transfer shares to brokers.
The Amended and Restated Bylaws are attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this report and
are incorporated by reference.
