TABLE OF CONTENTS
Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year
The Board of Directors of Healthcare Realty Trust Incorporated (the “Company”) approved an
amendment to Article VII of the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, effective as of October 23,
2007 (the “Amendment”), to allow for the issuance of uncertificated shares of the Company’s capital
stock. The Company adopted the Amendment to comply with new rules adopted by the New York Stock
Exchange that require listed companies to be eligible for Depository Trust Company’s Direct
Registration System (“DRS”). The DRS allows investors to have securities recorded and maintained
on the books of the issuer or the transfer agent without the issuance of a stock certificate. The
above summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, which is attached as
Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
