Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
Apache Corporation (the “Company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K on May 11, 2011 (the “Original Report”) to report the final results for each of the matters submitted to a vote of shareholders at its 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on May 5, 2011 (the “Annual Meeting”). The Company is filing this amendment to the Original Report to report that, consistent with the Board of Directors’ recommendation in the Company’s 2011 Proxy Statement and the voting results, the Company has determined to hold an advisory vote on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers annually through 2017, when the next shareholder vote on the frequency of say-on-pay votes is required under Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or until the Board of Directors otherwise determines that a different frequency for such votes is in the best interests of the Company’s shareholders.
