Explanatory Note

 

Pursuant to Item 5.07(d) of Form 8-K, QCR Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), is filing this Amendment to its Form 8-K originally filed on May 24, 2018, solely for the purpose of disclosing the Company’s decision on the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation.

 

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

 

In the proxy statement that the Company provided to its stockholders in connection with the Company’s 2018 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”), the Board of Directors of the Company recommended that the stockholders vote, on an advisory basis, in favor of conducting future advisory votes on executive compensation every year.  These advisory votes on executive compensation are periodic, non-binding stockholder votes to approve the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers as disclosed in the Company’s proxy statements and are required under Section 14A(a)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Rule 14A-21(b) thereunder.

 

The Company held its Annual Meeting on May 23, 2018. Of the 13,935,293 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of the record date for the Annual Meeting, 12,413,266 shares were represented at the meeting in person or by proxy, constituting approximately 89% of the outstanding shares. In a non-binding advisory vote held at the Annual Meeting on the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation, 9,125,264 shares voted for one year, 102,431 shares voted for two years, 359,681 shares voted for three years, 12,218 shares abstained and there were 2,813,672 broker non-votes.

 

Based upon these results, and consistent with the Board of Directors’ recommendation to stockholders in the proxy statement for the Annual Meeting, the Company expects that it will continue to hold an advisory stockholder vote on executive compensation every year until the Company’s 2024 annual meeting of stockholders, when the next stockholder vote on the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation is required under the Exchange Act.
