TABLE OF CONTENTS
Item 5.03. Amendment to Bylaws
On July 31, 2008, the Sybase, Inc. Board of Directors amended the Corporations Bylaws to expand
the information required to be provided by any stockholder who submits a nomination for election to
the Board of Directors or a stockholder proposal for consideration at an annual meeting of
stockholders.
The amendments to Section 2.5(i) and (iii) of the Bylaws require a stockholder submitting a
nomination or proposal, including a director nomination, to disclose legal or beneficial ownership
of all shares in the Corporations stock, whether the stockholder has hedged its ownership of, or
entered into any derivative or short positions, profit interests, options, hedging transactions,
and borrowed or loaned shares. The amendments also require disclosure of any agreements the
stockholder has with affiliates or third parties concerning the stockholder proposal or director
nomination and require a stockholder nominating a person for election as a director to include in
the advance notice certain biographical information about each director nominee as well as a
questionnaire completed by each director nominee that requires the nominee to disclose any voting
commitments the nominee may have with a third person and commit to comply with the Companys
corporate governance standards if elected.
The preceding is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Corporations Bylaws, which are
attached hereto as Exhibit 3.2 and are incorporated herein by reference.
