EXPLANATORY NOTE
Progress Energy, Inc. (“Progress Energy”) and Carolina Power & Light Company d/b/a Progress Energy Carolinas, Inc. (“PEC”) are filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A to their Current Report on Form 8-K, which was originally filed on May 16, 2011 (the “Original 8-K”), to update disclosures made under Item 5.07 regarding the advisory (non-binding) vote on the frequency of shareholder votes on executive compensation.
Except for the foregoing, this Amendment No. 1 does not amend the Original 8-K in any way and does not modify or update any other disclosures contained in the Original 8-K. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 1 should be read in conjunction with the Original 8-K.
Section 5 – CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
At the Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on May 11, 2011, PEC’s shareholders cast the highest number of votes for voting on an annual basis, compared to every two or three years, with regard to the advisory (non-binding) vote on the frequency of shareholder votes on executive compensation.
Based on these results and consistent with the previous recommendation of the Board of Directors of PEC (the “Board”), the Board determined at its meeting on June 20, 2011, that PEC will hold an advisory (non-binding) vote on executive compensation on an annual basis until the next required advisory (non-binding) vote on the frequency of such votes on executive compensation occurs.
