Explanatory Note

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A is being filed as Amendment No. 1 to the Form 8-K dated May 26, 2011 previously filed by Senomyx, Inc. The sole purpose of this Amendment No. 1 is to disclose the company’s decision regarding how frequently it will conduct non-binding advisory votes on the compensation paid to its named executive officers. No other changes are being made to the Form 8-K dated May 26, 2011.

 

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

 

At the Senomyx, Inc. 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 26, 2011, stockholders voted on, among other matters, a proposal on the frequency of future stockholder advisory votes regarding compensation awarded to named executive officers. As previously reported by the company, the frequency of once every three years received the highest number of votes cast. This vote was consistent with the recommendation of the company’s Board of Directors. Based on these results and other factors, the company’s Board of Directors has determined that the company will conduct future stockholder advisory votes regarding compensation awarded to its named executive officers once every three years until the next required non-binding advisory vote on the frequency of such future non-binding advisory vote.

 

The information reported under Item 5.07 of the May 26, 2011 Form 8-K is hereby incorporated by reference.
