Tessera Technologies, Inc. ("Tessera") is filing this Amendment No. 1 to its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 25, 2011, for the sole purpose of disclosing Tessera's decision as to the frequency with which it will include a shareholder advisory vote on executive compensation in future annual meeting proxy materials.
Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
As previously reported, at Tessera's 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 24, 2011, a majority of the shares cast voted, on an advisory basis, in favor of conducting advisory votes on executive compensation every year. After consideration of the stockholder voting results, Tessera's Board of Directors has determined that Tessera will include a shareholder advisory vote on executive compensation in its proxy materials every year until the next advisory vote on the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation. The next advisory vote on the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation will occur no later than 2017.
