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

On November 28, 2007, the Board of Directors of International Coal Group, Inc. (the “Company”), pursuant to Section 44 of the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”), amended Sections 31 through 34 of the Bylaws to allow for the issuance and transfer of uncertificated (“book-entry”) shares of the Company’s stock. The previous Sections 31 through 34 did not specifically permit the use of uncertificated shares. The amendments to the Bylaws were adopted to comply with recent SEC rule changes and New York Stock Exchange rules regarding the ability of listed companies to issue shares in either certificated or uncertificated form and to participate in a book-entry share Direct Registration System, which allows for the electronic transfer of securities.

The text of the amendments to the Bylaws is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
