EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Form 8-K/A is being filed as an amendment ("Amendment No. 1") to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Raptor Pharmaceutical Corp. (the "Company") with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 25, 2012 ("Original 8-K"). The sole purpose of this Amendment No. 1 is to disclose the Company's decision as to how frequently it will conduct future stockholder advisory votes on the compensation of the Company's named executive officers. No other changes have been made to the Original 8-K.

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

 

At the Company's 2012 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 24, 2012, the Company's stockholders voted on, among other matters, a proposal on the frequency of future stockholder advisory votes on the compensation of the Company's named executive officers. As previously reported by the Company in the Original 8-K, the frequency of once every year received the highest number of votes cast. Based on these results, and consistent with the Company's recommendation, the Company will conduct future stockholder advisory votes on the compensation of the Company's named executive officers once every year, until the next required stockholder advisory vote on the frequency of future stockholder advisory votes on the compensation the Company's named executive officers, which will be conducted no later than the Company's 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
