Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On June 6, 2008, thinkorswim Group Inc., formerly known as Investools Inc., issued a press release announcing that it has changed its name to thinkorswim Group Inc. (the Company).
The change of the Companys name was implemented by means of a short-form merger pursuant to Section 253(b) of the Delaware General Corporation Law on June 4, 2008. Upon the filing of a certificate of ownership and merger providing for the Companys name to be changed to thinkorswim Group Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company bearing the Companys intended name merged with and into the Company, enabling it to change its name without stockholder approval. The outstanding shares of common stock will not be affected by the change in name.
Accordingly, Article I of the Companys Certificate of Incorporation has been amended to read as follows:
ARTICLE I
The name of this corporation is thinkorswim Group Inc.
A conforming change was also made to the Companys by-laws to reflect the change in the Companys name. In addition, Section 16 of the by-laws was amended, effective June 4, 2008, to delete a provision that prohibited a committee of the Board of Directors from setting the compensation of the directors for serving on the Board or on any committee of the Board. A copy of the revised by-laws is filed as Exhibit 3.2 to this Form 8-K.
In connection with the name change of the Company described in Item 5.03, the Companys subsidiary thinkorswim Group, Inc. is now named thinkorswim Holdings Inc., which is the parent company of thinkorswim, Inc. In addition, Online Investors Advantage, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, is now known as Investools Inc. A chart of the subsidiaries of the Company is filed as Exhibit 21.1 to this Form 8-K.
