Explanatory Note

Meredith Corporation (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment on Form 8-K/A to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on November 14, 2011 (the “Original Report”) to disclose the Company's decision regarding the frequency with which it will hold a non-binding shareholder advisory vote on the compensation of its named executive officers. No other changes have been made to the Original Report.


Item 5.07    Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

At the Company's Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on November 9, 2011, the Company's shareholders voted on a proposal to approve, on an advisory basis, the frequency with which the Company will conduct future advisory votes on named executive officer compensation. As previously reported in the Original Report, a majority of the votes cast by the shareholders were voted in favor of conducting future advisory votes on named executive officer compensation every year. Based on these results and in accordance with the Board of Directors' recommendation, the Company has decided to hold an advisory vote on named executive officer compensation annually until the next advisory vote on the frequency of such votes on named executive officer compensation.
