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

On December 7, 2007, the Board of Directors of Ampex Corporation (the “Company”) amended the Company’s By-Laws, effective as of that date, to permit the issuance of uncertificated shares of the Company’s capital stock. The amendments were adopted in response to Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4350(1), which requires that all listed securities be eligible to participate in a direct registration system (“DRS”). Eligibility for DRS requires the ability to issue shares in book-entry, or uncertificated, form. The amendments were made to Sections 1 and 4 of Article V of the Company’s By-Laws.

A copy of the amended By-Laws is attached as Exhibit 3.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.
