Explanatory Note
This Amendment No. 1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Southside Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”) on April 27, 2011 (the “Original 8-K”) updates disclosures made under Item 5.07, Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders, regarding the results of the Company’s 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on April 21, 2011 (the “2011 Annual Meeting”). The sole purpose of this Amendment is to disclose the decision of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) regarding how frequently it will conduct non-binding, advisory votes on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers (“Say-on-Pay”). No other changes have been made to the Original 8-K.
|
Item 5.07
|
Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
|
As previously disclosed in the Original 8-K, at the 2011 Annual Meeting, the Company’s shareholders selected, on a non-binding, advisory basis, a triennial vote for the frequency at which the Company should include a Say-on-Pay vote in its proxy statement for shareholder consideration. In light of this result and other factors considered by the Board, the Board has determined that the Company will hold Say-on-Pay votes every three years until the next required non-binding, advisory vote on the frequency of such votes, which is required to be held no later than the Company’s 2017 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. As a result, the next Say-on-Pay vote is scheduled to be held at the Company’s 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
SIGNATURE
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Registrant has duly caused this amended report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
