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




Effective July 30, 2014, the Board of Directors of Diamond Hill Investment Group, Inc. (the “Company”) approved an Amended and Restated Code of Regulations of the Company (the “Amended Regulations”), which replaces the Company’s previous regulations in their entirety.





The Company’s previous regulations were originally adopted in 2002.  Until the recent approval by the Company’s shareholders at the 2014 annual meeting of amendments to permit the amendment of the regulations by the directors and to divide the offices of president and chief executive officer, the regulations had not been amended since their initial adoption. The Amended Regulations incorporate the recent amendments approved by the Company’s shareholders, update the name of the Company, and make numerous technical and conforming changes, largely to reflect changes in Ohio law since the original regulations were adopted, including addressing statutory changes regarding the use of technology, such as permitting the use of communications equipment for director and shareholder meetings.





Among the provisions in the Amended Regulations that were not in the previous regulations are advance notice  provisions governing the timing of submission of notice of shareholder business to be brought before an annual meeting of shareholders and governing the nomination of director candidates, including shareholder nominations (provided that these requirements will not be deemed to affect any rights of shareholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Company’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934).  These advance notice provisions also address information that must  be provided with any such submission of shareholder business or nomination.





The foregoing description of the changes to the Company’s code of regulations is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amended and Restated Code of Regulations of the Company, which is set forth in Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
