EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A is being filed to update the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Brightpoint, Inc. (the “Company”) on May 10, 2011 (the “Original Report”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The sole purpose of this amendment is to disclose, as required by SEC regulations, the Company’s decision regarding the frequency of future stockholder advisory votes on the compensation of its named executive officers. No changes have been made to the Original Report.

ITEM 5.07		Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

(d) As reported in the Original Report, at the Company’s annual shareholder meeting held on May 10, 2011 (the “Annual Meeting”), more than a majority of the Company’s shareholders voted, on an advisory basis, in favor of holding future advisory votes on named executive officer compensation (the “Say on Pay Vote”) every year. Accordingly, in light of this result and other factors considered by the Board, the Board has determined that the Company will hold the Say on Pay Vote every year until the next required vote on the frequency of the Say on Pay Vote. The Company is required to hold an advisory vote on the frequency of the Say on Pay Vote every six years.
