ECOLAB INC. (NYSE:ECL) Files An 8-K Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

As previously reported in the Original Form 8-K, in a non-binding advisory vote on the frequency of future stockholder advisory votes on executive compensation held at the 2017 Annual Meeting, stockholders indicated a preference for an annual advisory vote on executive compensation as follows:

OneYear

TwoYears

220,022,767

464,126

18,024,865

379,814

In light of these results and consistent with the previous recommendation and determination of the Company’s board of directors, the Company will continue to hold a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation on an annual basis until the next required vote on the frequency of stockholder votes on executive compensation, or until the board of directors otherwise determines that a different frequency for such votes is in the best interests of the Company.
