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

(a) Amendment to Bylaws

On November 20, 2008, the Board of Directors of Trubion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Trubion") approved authorized and adopted Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company (the "Amended Bylaws"). The primary purpose for amending the bylaws was to revise certain provisions in Section 2.4 of Article II relating to the requirements for advance notice by stockholders seeking to submit nominations or proposals for action at meetings.

Pursuant to the Amended Bylaws, to be considered timely, a stockholder’s notice of business or a director nomination shall be delivered to the secretary of Trubion not later than 120 calendar days before the one year anniversary of the previous year’s annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that if no annual meeting of stockholders was held in the preceding year or if the date of the annual meeting of stockholders has been changed by more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after the date of the prior year’s meeting, the notice or director nomination must be received no later than the close of business on the later of 120 calendar days in advance of such meeting and 10 calendar days following the date on which public announcement of the date of the meeting is first made.

In accordance with the Amended Bylaws, stockholder proposals for Trubion’s 2009 annual meeting of stockholders, whether intended for inclusion in the proxy statement for such meeting or for presentation directly at such meeting, shall be delivered to the secretary of Trubion not later than 120 calendar days before the one year anniversary of the previous year’s annual meeting of stockholders. The one year anniversary of Trubion’s 2008 annual meeting of stockholders is May 28, 2009. As such, the date after which the notice of a stockholder proposal will be considered untimely is January 28, 2009. All proposals must comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. If a stockholder fails to give notice of a stockholder proposal as required by Trubion’s bylaws or other applicable requirements, then the proposal will not be included in the proxy statement for the 2009 annual meeting of stockholders and the stockholder will not be permitted to present the proposal to the stockholders for a vote at the 2009 annual meeting of stockholders.

The foregoing description of the Amended Bylaws does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amended Bylaws, which are attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated by reference herein.
