Explanatory Note
This Current Report on Form 8-K/A is being filed as an amendment to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 26, 2017 (the “Original 8-K”) by Erie Indemnity Company (the "Company") to update information previously disclosed under "Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders" regarding the results of voting at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on April 25, 2017. The sole purpose of this amendment is to disclose the Company’s decision regarding how frequently it will conduct a non-binding advisory vote on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers. No other changes are being made to the Original 8-K.
Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
(d) At the annual meeting of shareholders of the Company held on April 25, 2017, the Company’s Class B common shareholders voted on, among other matters, an advisory proposal concerning the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation. As reported in the Original 8-K, the advisory vote of the Company’s shareholders at the annual meeting was in favor of holding future advisory stockholder votes to approve the Company’s executive compensation every three years.
In light of these results, the Company’s Board of Directors determined that the Company will hold an advisory vote on executive compensation every three years until the next non-binding advisory vote on the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation is held or until the Board of Directors otherwise determines that a different frequency for such advisory votes is in the best interest of the Company.
