Item 5.07   Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
     This Current Report on Form 8-K supplements Delta Petroleum Corporation’s Form 8-K filed with the Commission on July 13, 2011, which Form 8-K reported the voting results of Delta’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on July 12, 2011 at its offices in Denver, Colorado (the “Meeting”). At the Meeting, Delta’s stockholders voted on, among other matters, a proposal on the frequency of future shareholder advisory votes regarding compensation awarded to Delta’s named executive officers (commonly referred to as the “say on pay” vote). As previously reported the highest number of votes cast on the proposal, as well as a majority of the votes cast on the proposal, approved the frequency of the advisory stockholder vote to be annually. In light of these voting results and other factors considered by the board, Delta’s board of directors has determined that Delta will conduct future shareholder advisory votes regarding compensation awarded to its named executive officers on an annual basis. The next required shareholder advisory vote on the frequency of future shareholder advisory votes regarding compensation awarded to named executive officers will be conducted at Delta’s 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
