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

Pinnacle Bankshares Corporation (the “Company”) amended its Articles of Incorporation, effective May 1, 2009, to authorize the issuance of up to one million shares of preferred stock. At the Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on April 14, 2009, the Company’s shareholders approved the amendment and authorized the Company’s Board of Directors to determine at the time of creating each series of preferred stock the designation and number of shares of the series and the preferences, limitations and relative rights of each series created. Prior to the amendment, the Company’s Articles of Incorporation authorized the issuance of common stock only. The amendment to the Articles of Incorporation also made a non-substantive change to clarify the provisions of Article VI of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation.

A copy of the Articles of Amendment is included as Exhibit 3.1(a) hereto and is incorporated by reference into this Item 5.03. The foregoing summary of certain provisions of the Articles of Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto.
