ITEM 5.03 AMENDMENTS TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OR BYLAWS; CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR
On December 12, 2007, the Board of Directors of Toll Brothers, Inc. (the Corporation) amended
Article V, Sections 5-1 and 5-3 of the By-laws of the Corporation to allow for the issuance and
transfer of uncertificated shares. The amendments ensure that the Corporations listed securities
are eligible to participate in the Direct Registration System, as required by the regulations of
the New York Stock Exchange. The Direct Registration System allows stockholders to have securities
registered in their names without the issuance of physical certificates and to electronically
transfer securities to broker-dealers in order to effect transactions without the risks and delays
associated with transferring physical certificates. The amendments to the By-laws also provide
that each registered stockholder shall be entitled to a stock certificate upon written request to
the transfer agent or registrar of the Company. This summary of the amendments to the
Corporations By-laws is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the amendment
to the By-laws, filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by
reference herein.
