Explanatory Note.
On July 16, 2019, Ready Capital Corporation (the “Company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Original Form 8-K”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission to report the results of the matters submitted to a vote by the Company’s stockholders at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) held on July 10, 2019. This Form 8-K/A is being filed solely to supplement the disclosures made under Item 5.07 of the Original Form 8-K to disclose the decision of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”) with respect to the frequency of future stockholder advisory votes on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers.
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, an advisory proposal concerning the frequency of holding future stockholder advisory votes to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers. As previously reported in the Original Form 8-K, the results of the voting were as follows:
1 Year | | 2 Years | | 3 Years | | Abstain | | Broker Non-Votes |
26,148,946 | | 77,599 | | 348,390 | | 285,707 | | 9,716,389 |
In light of the stockholders’ vote that the advisory vote be held every year, which was consistent with the recommendation of the Board of Directors, the Board of Directors has decided that the Company will hold an annual stockholder advisory vote to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers. The Company intends to continue holding such votes annually until the next required vote on the frequency of the stockholder advisory vote on named executive officer compensation.
