This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (the “Amendment”) is being filed as an amendment to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Saga Communications, Inc. (the “Company”) on May 8, 2017 (the “Original 8-K”). The Original 8-K was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission to report the results of the matters submitted to a vote by the Company’s stockholders at the Company’s 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 8, 2017 (the “2017 Annual Meeting”). The sole purpose of this Amendment is to disclose, in accordance with Item 5.07(d) of Form 8-K, the Company’s decision as to how frequently the Company will conduct future advisory votes regarding the compensation of named executive officers. No other changes have been made to the Original 8-K.

Consistent with the recommendation of the Board of Directors of the Company as set forth in the Company’s proxy statement for its 2017 Annual Meeting and the vote of the Company’s stockholders at the 2017 Annual Meeting, the Company is confirming that it adopted a policy to include an advisory stockholder vote on the compensation of named executive officers in its proxy materials every three years. This policy will remain in effect until the next required stockholder vote regarding the frequency with which stockholders will be provided an advisory vote on the compensation of named executive officers, which is expected to be held at the Company’s 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
