STAAR Surgical Company (NASDAQ:STAA) Files An 8-K Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security HoldersItem 5.07.
On June 13, 2017, the Company held its annual meeting of shareholders. At the meeting, the Company’s shareholders voted, among other things, on the frequency of future advisory votes on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers (the “Frequency Vote”). The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) had recommended that the shareholders approve holding an advisory vote on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers every year until the next advisory vote regarding the frequency of future advisory votes on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers is submitted to the shareholders. As previously reported in the Original Report, the shareholders recommended “one year” on the Frequency Vote. Based on the results of the Frequency Vote and consistent with the recommendation of the Board, the Board determined to hold an advisory vote on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers every year until the next advisory vote regarding the frequency of future advisory votes on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers is submitted to the shareholders, or until the Board otherwise determines that a different frequency for such advisory votes is in the best interests of the Company.
