Item 5.03

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

On November 7, 2007, the Board of Directors of The Warnaco Group, Inc. (the ‘‘Company’’) approved and adopted amendments to Article V of the Company's By-laws, effective immediately, authorizing the Company to issue both uncertificated and certificated shares of its stock in order to comply with NASDAQ rules requiring that issuers be eligible for a Direct Registration Program. Under a Direct Registration Program, investors may have uncertificated securities registered in their names, which they can electronically transfer to broker-dealers without transferring physical certificates. The foregoing summary of the changes to the Company's By-laws is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the amended and restated By-laws of the Company, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
