Explanatory Note
On February 17, 2017, Surmodics, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Original Report”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission to report the voting results of the Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on February 14, 2017 (the “2017 Annual Meeting”), including, among other matters, a shareholder advisory vote on the frequency of the advisory shareholder vote on executive compensation (“Say-on-Pay Vote”).  This Amendment No. 1 to the Original Report is being filed to disclose the Company’s decision as to how frequently it will hold an advisory Say-on-Pay Vote.  Except for the new disclosures set forth herein, this Amendment No. 1 does not amend the Original Report in any way and does not modify or update any other disclosures contained in the Original Report.
Item 5.07                          Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
As previously disclosed, at the 2017 Annual Meeting, a majority of votes of the shareholders of the Company were cast in favor of holding an annual non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation.  The Company has considered the outcome of this advisory vote and has determined, as was recommended by the Company’s Board of Directors in the proxy statement for the 2017 Annual Meeting, that the Company will hold future say on pay votes on an annual basis until the next required vote on the frequency of shareholder votes on executive compensation or until the Board of Directors of the Company determines that it is in the best interest of the Company to hold such vote with a different frequency.
