Explanatory Note
On May 26, 2011, Healthways, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Original Form 8-K”) related to the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting") held on May 26, 2011. This Form 8-K/A is being filed solely to disclose the Company's decision regarding the frequency of future non-binding, advisory votes on compensation of the Company's named executive officers.
Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
As previously reported in the Original Form 8-K, a non-binding, advisory vote was taken at the Annual Meeting on the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation. A majority of the shares cast were in favor of holding such an advisory vote on an annual basis. After considering the preference of the Company's stockholders and other factors, the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") determined at a meeting held on August 10, 2011 that the Company will hold a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation on an annual basis until the next required non-binding advisory vote on the frequency of such future advisory votes on executive compensation occurs, or until the Board otherwise determines that a different frequency for such advisory votes is in the best interests of the stockholders of the Company.
