This Current Report on Form 8-K/A is being filed as an amendment to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 23, 2011, by Knight Transportation, Inc., an Arizona corporation (the "Company"), in order to update information 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 May 19, 2011.
At the Company's 2011 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, a plurality of the votes cast on the frequency proposal were cast in favor of holding an annual "say-on-pay" vote.
In consideration of the shareholder vote at the 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders on the frequency proposal, the Company's Board of Directors decided that the Company will hold an advisory "say-on-pay" vote every year in connection with its annual meetings of shareholders. Accordingly, the Company will include an advisory "say-on-pay" vote every year in its future proxy materials until the next shareholder vote on the frequency of "say-on-pay" votes, which will be no later than the Company's Annual Meeting of Shareholders in 2017.
