Explanatory Note

 

This current report on Form 8-K/A is being filed as an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the current report on Form 8-K filed by Advaxis, Inc. (the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 17, 2013 (the “Original Form 8-K”). The Original Form 8-K reported the final voting results of the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on June 14, 2013 (the “Annual Meeting”). The sole purpose of this Amendment is to disclose the Company’s decision regarding how frequently it will conduct future stockholder advisory votes to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers. No other changes have been made to the Original Form 8-K.

 

Item 5.07Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

 

As previously reported in the Original Form 8-K, the Company’s stockholders conducted a non-binding advisory vote regarding the frequency of stockholder approval of the compensation of named executive officers. A majority of the votes cast on the frequency proposal were cast in favor of holding an advisory vote regarding the compensation of named executive officers every three years, which was also the frequency recommended to the stockholders by the Company’s Board of Directors. After considering the results of the stockholder advisory vote, the Company’s Board of Director has determined that the frequency for which the Company should include an advisory vote regarding the compensation of its named executive officers in its future proxy statements for stockholder consideration shall be every three years, until the next shareholder non-binding advisory vote on the frequency of the non-binding advisory vote to approve the compensation of the named executive officers of the Company.
