Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws.

On May 22, 2012, Gibraltar Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) filed an Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amendment”), amending Article EIGHTH thereof to remove the restriction preventing stockholders from taking action by written consent.

“EIGHTH: Action shall be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation only at any annual or special meetings of stockholders or by written consent of the stockholders. Special meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation may be called only as provided in the By-Laws.”

A copy of the Amendment is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Form 8-K.
