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

The Board of Directors of Inhibitex, Inc.(the "Company") amended Article VI of the Company’s By-laws (the "By-laws"), effective as of December 6, 2007, to allow for the issuance of uncertified shares. By being able to issue uncertified shares, the Company is now eligible to participate in the Direct Registration System, as required by The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC. The Direct Registration System, which is currently administered by The Depository Trust Company, allows investors to have securities registered in their names without the issuance of physical certificates and allows investors to electronically transfer securities to broker-dealers in order to effect transactions without the risks and delays associated with transferring physical certificates. The amendment to the By-laws also provides that each registered stockholder shall be entitled to a stock certificate upon written request to the transfer agent or registrar of the Company.

The full text of the Amended and Restated By-laws, is filed as an Exhibit to this Current Report.
