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


On April 1, 2014, the Board of Directors of Monmouth Real Estate Investment Corporation (the “Company”) approved an amendment and restatement (collectively, the “Amendment”) to the Company’s bylaws, effective as of the same date.  The only change to the Company’s Bylaws effected by the Amendment was to delete the following paragraph from Section 11 of Article III of the Company’s Bylaws:


No person shall qualify for service as a director of the Corporation if he or she is a party to any compensatory, payment or other financial agreement, arrangement or understanding with any person or entity other than the Corporation, or has received any such compensation or other payment from any person or entity other than the Corporation, in each case in connection with candidacy or service as a director of the Corporation.  A director or a candidate for directorship of the Corporation shall only be permitted to receive board approved fees for service on the Board of Directors or any of its committees, and/or any indemnification payments approved by the Corporation.”  


The foregoing description of the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws is not complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amended and Restated Bylaws, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 3.1, and which Amended and Restated Bylaws are incorporated herein by reference.
