Explanatory Note
This current report on Form 8-K/A is being filed as an amendment (“Amendment No. 1”) to the Form 8-K dated May 26, 2011 (the “Original 8-K”) filed by Spartan Motors, Inc. (the “Company”), and updates disclosures made under Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders regarding the results from the Company’s 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on May 25, 2011 (the “2011 Annual Meeting”). 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 the Company’s named executive officers. No other changes have been made to the Original 8-K.
Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
In a non-binding advisory vote on the frequency of the advisory vote on the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers (“say on pay”) held at the 2011 Annual Meeting, shareholders approved the recommendation of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) to hold say on pay votes annually. Accordingly, in light of this result and other factors considered by the Board, the Board has determined that the Company will hold advisory say on pay votes on an annual basis until the board determines that it is in the best interest of the Company to hold such votes with a different frequency.
