Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 1 to Form 8-K is being filed as an amendment to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Core Laboratories N.V. (the “Company”) on May 25, 2011 (the “Original Report”).  The Original Report was filed to report the results of the matters submitted to a vote at the Company's Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) held on May 19, 2011.  The sole purpose of this Amendment No. 1 is to disclose the Company's decision regarding the frequency with which it will include a shareholder vote on the compensation of executives in its annual meeting proxy materials.  Except for the foregoing, this Amendment No. 1 does not modify or update any other disclosure contained in the Original Report.

Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
 
At the Company's Annual Meeting, shareholders were asked to consider and act upon, among other matters, an advisory vote on the frequency of an advisory vote on executive compensation.  As previously reported in the Original Report, a majority of the votes cast on the frequency proposal were cast in favor of holding an advisory vote on executive compensation every year.

In light of this vote and other factors, the Company's Board of Directors decided at a meeting held on August 4, 2011, that the Company will include an advisory vote on executive compensation every year in its future proxy materials until the next shareholder vote on the frequency of these votes. The Company will re-evaluate the determination in connection with its next shareholder advisory vote regarding the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation.
