ITEM 5.03
Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Changes in Fiscal Year
 
    (a)         On March 23, 2009, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Home Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company"), amended the Company's Bylaws to delete the last sentence of Article VI thereof, which previously required that the appointment of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm be subject to annual ratification by shareholders. The Audit Committee has not yet completed its process to select an audit firm and, since such process is not expected to be completed prior to the anticipated mailing date for proxy materials for the upcoming Annual Meeting of Shareholders, the Board determined to amend the Company's Bylaws as described above in order to permit the Audit Committee to finalize its engagement of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for 2009.  In the future, the Company anticipates that ratification of the Company's independent registered accounting firm will be a matter included for shareholder consideration at annual meetings.  A copy of the Company's Amended and Restated Bylaws, as currently in effect, is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.
 
    (b)         Not applicable.
