Explanatory Note
Calgon Carbon Corporation (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A to their Current Report on Form 8-K, which was originally filed on May 3, 2011 (the “Original 8-K”), to update disclosures made under Item 5.07 regarding the advisory (non-binding) vote on the frequency of stockholder votes on executive compensation.
Except for the foregoing, this Amendment No. 1 does not amend the Original 8-K in any way and does not modify or update any other disclosures contained in the Original 8-K. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 1 should be read in conjunction with the Original 8-K.
Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
At the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on April 29, 2011, the Company’s stockholders cast the highest number of votes for voting on an annual basis, compared to every two or three years, with regard to the advisory (non-binding) vote on the frequency of stockholder votes on executive compensation.
Based on these results and consistent with the previous recommendation of the Governance Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Governance Committee”), the Governance Committee, discharging the responsibility of the Board of Directors pursuant to its Charter, has determined by unanimous written consent dated June 6, 2011, consistent with its prior recommendation and the vote of the Stockholders of the Company, that the advisory vote on executive compensation should occur on an annual basis until the next required advisory (non-binding) vote on the frequency of such votes on executive compensation occurs.
