EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (this “Amendment”) amends the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Advanced Disposal Services, Inc. (the “Company”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 26, 2017 (the “Original Form 8-K”). The Original Form 8-K reported the final voting results of the Company’s 2017 Annual Meeting of stockholders held on May 24, 2017 (the “Annual Meeting”). The sole purpose of this Amendment is to add item (d) below regarding the Company’s decision as to the frequency of future shareholder advisory votes regarding the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers. Except as set forth herein, no other modifications have been made to the Original Form 8-K.

Item 5.07.            Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

(d)           As previously disclosed in the Original Form 8-K, in a non-binding advisory vote on the frequency of future named executive compensation votes held at the 2017 Annual Meeting, 85,102,547 shares voted for one year, 1,408 shares voted for two years, 100,618 shares voted for three years and 300 shares abstained. In accordance with these results and its previous recommendation (as set forth in the definitive proxy statement for the Annual Meeting), the Company’s Board of Directors has determined that the Company will hold future say on pay votes annually until the next advisory vote on the frequency of shareholder advisory votes regarding the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers.
