EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (this "Amendment") updates information disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 13, 2011 (the "Original Form 8-K") relating to the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Fortegra Financial Corporation (the "Company") held on June 7, 2011 (the "Annual Meeting"). The sole purpose of this Amendment is to disclose the Company's decision regarding how frequently it will conduct future advisory votes on executive compensation. No other changes have been made to the Original Form 8-K.
Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
(d) As previously reported in the Original Form 8-K, at the Annual Meeting, an advisory vote was conducted on the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation. The Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") recommended that advisory votes be held every three years, and a majority of the shares were voted for advisory votes to be held every three years. The Company has decided, consistent with the vote of the Company's shareholders and the recommendation from the Board, to submit a separate resolution on the compensation of the Company's named executive officers to the Company's shareholders for an advisory vote every three years in its proxy materials (the next such vote being at the 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Company) until the next required vote on the frequency of shareholder votes on the compensation of the Company's named executive officers (which would be at the 2017 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Company, unless presented earlier).
