On June 9, 2011, Echo Global Logistics, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K relating to the voting results at its annual meeting of stockholders on June 8, 2011. This Current Report on Form 8-K/A is being filed solely to disclose the determination of the Board of Directors of the Company regarding how frequently the Company will include in its proxy materials an advisory vote on the compensation of its named executive officers.

 

Section 5 - Corporate Governance and Management

 

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

 

As previously reported, consistent with the Board of Directors’ recommendation at the Company’s annual meeting, stockholders were given the options of voting for one year, two years or three years or abstaining with respect to the frequency of stockholder advisory approval of executive compensation; the three-year option was approved on an advisory basis. In accordance with the voting results, the Company intends to provide stockholders with an opportunity to cast an advisory vote on executive compensation every three years until the next required advisory vote on the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation.  Under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the Company is required to provide stockholders at least once every six calendar years the opportunity to cast an advisory vote on the frequency of stockholder advisory approval of executive compensation.
