EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Current Report on Form 8-K/A is filed by Atrion Corporation (the "Company") to amend its Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 27, 2011. The sole purpose of this amendment is to disclose the Company's decision regarding how frequently it will conduct an advisory vote on the compensation of the Company's executive officers.
At the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders held on May 26, 2011, the Company’s stockholders voted, on an advisory basis, on the frequency of future advisory voting on the compensation of the Company’s executive officers. After considering the results of the stockholder advisory vote, the Company’s Board of Directors, at a meeting held on August 16, 2011, determined that the Company will hold an advisory vote on the compensation of the Company’s executive officers every three years until the next required vote on the frequency of stockholder voting on the compensation of the Company’s executive officers or the Board of Directors otherwise determines that a different frequency for such advisory voting is in the best interests of the stockholders of the Company.
