EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A is being filed as an amendment to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on September 9, 2015 (the “Original 8-K”) by Hydrocarb Energy Corp. (the “Company”). The sole purpose of this amendment is to disclose the Company’s Board of Directors’ decision, following its annual meeting of stockholders, as to how frequently it will conduct future stockholder advisory votes regarding executive compensation. This Form 8-K/A does not otherwise amend, update or revise the Original 8-K in any way.
Item 5.07
Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
As previously reported in the Original Form 8-K, at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Company on September 28, 2015 (the “Meeting”), shareholders holding 72.2% of the total shares eligible to be voted at the Meeting and 92.7% of the shares voted at the Meeting, voted in favor of holding future advisory votes on executive compensation of our named executive officers every three years. In light of the voting results with respect to the frequency of holding a non-binding, advisory vote on executive compensation, and consistent with the fact that such period received the highest number of votes cast at the meeting, the Board of Directors has determined that the Company will hold future non-binding, advisory votes of stockholders to approve the compensation of the named executive officers every three years until the next non-binding, advisory stockholder vote on the frequency of stockholder votes on executive compensation, scheduled to occur at our 2018 annual meeting of stockholders, or until the Board of Directors otherwise determines a different frequency for such non-binding, advisory votes.
