Explanatory Note
This Form 8-K/A is being filed as an amendment (“Amendment No. 1”) to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Alpha Pro Tech, Ltd. (the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 14, 2019 (the “Original Filing”). The sole purpose of this Amendment No. 1 is to disclose the Company’s decision regarding how frequently it will conduct shareholder advisory votes on executive compensation. No other changes have been made to the Original Filing.
Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
At the Company’s 2019 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, the Company’s shareholders voted on, among other matters, a proposal regarding the frequency of future shareholder advisory votes on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers – or future “say-on-pay” votes. As previously reported by the Company in the Original Filing, a majority of the votes cast on the frequency proposal were cast in favor of holding an annual “say-on-pay” vote, which was also the frequency recommended to the shareholders by the Company’s Board of Directors.
In light of the voting results with respect to the frequency proposal, at a meeting held on June 25, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors decided that the Company will hold an advisory “say-on-pay” vote each year in connection with its annual meeting of shareholders until the next vote on the frequency of shareholder advisory votes on the compensation of executives or until the Board of Directors otherwise determines that a different frequency for such advisory votes is in the best interests of the shareholders. The next advisory vote on the frequency of future “say-on-pay” votes will occur no later than 2025.
