EXPLANATORY NOTE: The Annual Meeting of Shareholders of The Chubb Corporation (the Corporation) was held on April 26, 2011 (the Annual Meeting). On April 28, 2011, the Corporation filed a Form 8-K to report the results of shareholder voting at the Annual Meeting. This Form 8-K/A is being filed to report the action taken by the Corporation’s Board of Directors (the Board) at its regular meeting on June 9, 2011 with regard to the frequency of shareholder advisory votes on executive compensation.

Item 5.07.		Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

(d)

In light of the results of the non-binding advisory vote of the Corporation’s shareholders at the Annual Meeting and other relevant considerations, the Corporation has determined that it will hold an annual advisory vote on the compensation payable to its named executive officers until the earlier of:

	•		the next advisory vote by the Corporation’s shareholders on the frequency of shareholder votes on the compensation payable to the Corporation’s named executive officers is required; or
	•		the determination by the Board that it is in the best interest of the Corporation to hold an advisory vote by the Corporation’s shareholders on the frequency of shareholder votes on the compensation payable to the Corporation’s named executive officers.

Under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the Corporation is required to provide the Corporation’s shareholders with the opportunity to cast a non-binding advisory vote on the frequency of shareholder votes on executive compensation at least once every six calendar years.
