Explanatory Note

 

On September 13, 2011, RBC Bearings Incorporated (the “Company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Original 8-K”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to report under Item 5.07, Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders, the voting results of its annual meeting of stockholders held on September 7, 2011 (the “2011 Annual Meeting”), including the results of a non-binding, advisory proposal on the frequency of conducting stockholder advisory votes on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers.  This Current Report on Form 8-K/A is being filed as an amendment to the Original 8-K for the sole purpose of disclosing the subsequent decision of the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors of the Company as to how frequently the Company will conduct future stockholder advisory votes on the compensation of its named executive officers. No other changes have been made to the Original 8-K.
