Explanatory Note
This Current Report on Form 8–K/A (the “Amendment”) updates information disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8–K dated June 9, 2011 (the “Original Form 8–K”) relating to the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Swift Transportation Company (the “Company”) held on June 3, 2011 (the “Annual Meeting”). The sole purpose of this Amendment is to disclose the Company’s decision regarding how frequently it will conduct future advisory votes on executive compensation.
| Item 5.07 | Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders |
At the Annual Meeting, the Company’s stockholders voted on, among other matters, a proposal regarding the frequency of holding future advisory votes on executive compensation. As previously reported in the Original Form 8–K filed, the stockholders approved, on an advisory basis, an annual advisory vote on executive compensation. On October 25, 2011, after considering the results of the stockholder advisory vote and other factors, the Company’s Board of Directors determined that the Company will hold an advisory vote on executive compensation every year until the next stockholder advisory vote on the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation, which, in accordance with applicable law, will occur no later than the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders in 2017.
