TABLE OF CONTENTS
Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On December 18, 2007, the Board of Directors of Chico’s FAS, Inc. (the “Company”) amended
Article VIII of the Company’s Amended and Restated By-laws to incorporate more exacting language
confirming the Company’s ability to issue and transfer Company shares in accordance with the
electronic Direct Registration System (“DRS”) administered by the Depository Trust Company. This
amendment was made in response to recent amendments to the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) rules
which require securities listed on the NYSE to be eligible to participate in the DRS by January 1,
2008.
A copy of the amendment is attached as Exhibit 3.3 to this Report and is incorporated by
reference herein.
