EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Form 8-K/A is being filed as an amendment (“Amendment No. 2”) to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Annaly Capital Management, Inc. (“Annaly” or the “Company”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on June 1, 2011 (“Original Filing”) and amended on June 20, 2011 (“Amendment No.1”). The purpose of this Amendment No. 2 is to disclose the Company’s revised decision on the frequency of future say-on-pay non-binding advisory votes regarding compensation awarded to named executive officers.
Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
As previously reported, in the proxy statement for the Company’s 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2011 Meeting”), the Board of Directors (the “Board”) recommended that stockholders vote, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, in favor of triennial future “say-on-pay” votes. Say-on-pay votes are periodic advisory (non-binding) stockholder votes to approve the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers. At the 2011 Meeting, a majority of the shares cast on the matter voted in favor of an annual frequency for say-on-pay votes, and these results were timely reported in the Original Filing.
As previously reported in Amendment No.1, the Board carefully considered the appropriate frequency of future non-binding advisory votes regarding compensation awarded to its named executive officers. Among other factors, the Board considered the voting results at the Company’s 2011 Annual Meeting with respect to the non-binding advisory vote regarding the frequency of non-binding advisory votes regarding compensation awarded to its named executive officers. The Board determined that future non-binding advisory votes regarding compensation awarded to its named executive officers would be submitted to shareholders of the Company every three years. The Board also determined to continue to evaluate this decision annually.
The Board has now determined that the Company will hold future say-on-pay non-binding advisory votes regarding compensation awarded to named executive officers on an annual basis commencing with the Annual Meeting of Stockholders in 2013.
On May 17, 2012, the Company is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K/A, further amending the Original Filing and Amendment No. 1, solely for the purpose of disclosing the Board’s revised decision on the frequency of future say-on-pay non-binding advisory votes regarding compensation awarded to named executive officers.
