Explanatory Note
This Form 8-K/A is being filed as an amendment to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 22, 2011 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Original 8-K”) by Riverview Bancorp, Inc. (“Company”) solely for the purpose of disclosing the determination of the Company’s Board of Directors with respect to the frequency of shareholder advisory votes on executive compensation. This Form 8-K/A does not amend or modify the Original 8-K in any other respect.
Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
(d) At the Annual Meeting of Shareholders (“Annual Meeting”) of the Company held on July 20, 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors”) recommended that the Company’s future advisory votes on executive compensation should be held every year. Consistent with the Board of Director’s intention set forth in the Company’s definitive proxy statement for the 2011 annual meeting of shareholders and in light of the voting results with respect to Proposal 3 discussed in the Original 8-K, the Board of Directors determined to hold an annual shareholder advisory vote to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, commencing with its 2012 annual meeting of shareholders, and continuing thereafter until such time that the frequency vote is next presented to shareholders or until the Board of Directors determines that a different frequency is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders.
