EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (this “Amendment”) amends the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Stericycle, Inc. (the “Company”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 30, 2017 (the “Original Form 8-K”). The Original Form 8-K reported the final voting results of the Company’s 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 24, 2017 (the “2017 Annual Meeting”). The sole purpose of this Amendment is to add item (d) below regarding the Company’s decision as to the frequency of future stockholder advisory votes regarding the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers (“say on pay”). Except as set forth herein, no other modifications have been made to the Original Form 8-K.

 

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

 

(d)As previously disclosed in the Original Form 8-K, in a non-binding advisory vote on the frequency of future say on pay votes held at the 2017 Annual Meeting, 62,589,647 shares voted for one year, 47,465 shares voted for two years, 8,009,441 shares voted for three years and 192,077 shares abstained. In accordance with these results and its previous recommendation (as set forth in the definitive proxy statement for the 2017 Annual Meeting), the Board of Directors of the Company has determined that the Company will hold future say on pay votes every year until the next advisory vote on the frequency of say on pay votes, which the Company expects to hold no later than its 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
