Explanatory Note
This Current Report on Form 8-K/A amends and supplements the Current Report on Form 8-K of Corrections Corporation of America (the “Company”), originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 17, 2011 (the “Initial Filing”). The sole purpose for filing this Form 8-K/A is to disclose the Company’s determination with respect to the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation paid to the Company’s Named Executive Officers. No other changes have been made to the Initial Filing.
| Item 5.07. | Submission of Matters to Vote of Security Holders. |
On May 17, 2011, the Company reported in its Initial Filing that a majority of the Company’s shareholders cast an advisory vote for an annual frequency for future advisory votes on the executive compensation paid to the Company’s Named Executive Officers.
Consistent with the shareholders’ advisory vote, the Company’s Board of Directors has determined that the Company will hold future shareholder advisory votes on the executive compensation paid to its Named Executive Officers on an annual basis until the next vote on the frequency of such vote is conducted or until the Board of Directors determines that a different frequency of such votes is in the best interests of the shareholders of the Company.
