Amendment Description | As previously reported in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Benitec Biopharma Inc. (the “Company”) on December 13, 2021 (the “Original Form 8-K”), in a non-binding advisory vote held at the Company’s 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders on December 8, 2021 on the frequency of future advisory votes to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers (“Say-on-Pay Votes”), the Company’s stockholders expressed their preference for a Say-on-Pay Vote to be conducted annually. On January 19, 2022, the Company’s board of directors determined that future Say-on-Pay Votes will be conducted every one year. The Company’s board of directors will re-evaluate this determination after the next stockholder advisory vote on the frequency of Say-on-Pay Votes. The sole purpose of this amendment to the Original Form 8-K filed is to disclose the Company’s decision regarding how frequently it will conduct future Say-on-Pay Votes. No other changes have been made to the Original Form 8-K. |
