Items to be Included in this Report

 
Item 5.03.    Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year
 
Effective December 27, 2007, Technitrol's Board of Directors amended Technitrol's Articles of Incorporation and Technitrol's By-Laws. The Articles and By-Laws were amended in order to comply with a new listing requirement of the New York Stock Exchange that requires all listed companies to become eligible for participation in the Depository Trust Company's Direct Registration System ("DRS") by January 1, 2008. DRS allows shareholders to have shares of securities registered in their names without the issuance of physical stock certificates and to electronically transfer shares of securities to broker-dealers in order to effect transactions without the need to transfer physical stock certificates. The By-Laws were also amended in order to change the requirements for appointing and removing members of committees to the Board of Directors other than the executive committee.

The foregoing summary of the amendments is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of Technitrol, Inc. which are attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and the Technitrol, Inc. By-Laws which are attached hereto as Exhibit 3.3.
