Explanatory Note
This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (this “Amendment”) updates information disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 20, 2017 (the “Original Form 8-K”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the annual meeting of stockholders of The Providence Service Corporation (the “Company”) held on June 15, 2017 (the “2017 Annual Meeting”). The sole purpose of this Amendment is to disclose the Company's decision regarding how frequently it will conduct future non-binding advisory votes on named executive officer compensation. No other changes have been made to the Original Form 8-K.
Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
(d) As previously reported in the Original Form 8-K, at the 2017 Annual Meeting, a non-binding advisory vote was conducted on the frequency of future non-binding advisory votes to approve named executive officer compensation. The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) recommended to hold such advisory votes to approve named executive officer compensation every year, and a majority of the shares were voted for such advisory vote to be held every year. In light of these voting results, the Company plans to hold future non-binding advisory votes approving named executive officer compensation annually (the next such vote being at the 2018 annual meeting of stockholders of the Company) until the next required vote on the frequency of such advisory votes (which would be at the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders of the Company), or until the Board otherwise determines that a different frequency is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
