EXPLANATORY NOTE
This amendment to current report on Form 8-K/A (the “Amendment”) amends the current report on Form 8-K, dated May 23, 2017, filed by Euronet Worldwide, Inc. (the “Company”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 23, 2017 (the “Original 8-K”). The Original 8-K reported, among other things, the final voting results of the Company’s 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 23, 2017 (the “2017 Annual Meeting”). The sole purpose of this Amendment is to disclose the Company’s decision regarding the frequency it will conduct future stockholder advisory votes on executive compensation (“Say-on-Pay”). No other changes have been made to the Original 8-K.
Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
As reported in the Original 8-K, the Company conducted a non-binding advisory vote on the frequency of future Say-on-
Pay at the 2017 Annual Meeting. A majority of the Company's stockholders that voted on the matter indicated a preference on holding an annual Say-on-Pay vote on the Company's executive compensation. Consistent with the stated preference of the Company's stockholders, the Board of Directors of the Company has determined that the Company will include a Say-on-
Pay vote on executive compensation in the Company's proxy materials on an annual basis, until such time as another advisory vote is held on the frequency of such non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation.
SIGNATURE
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
