Explanatory Note

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (this “Amendment”) updates information originally provided under Item 5.07 in a Current Report on Form 8-K, filed May 17, 2011 (the “Original Filing”), in which the Ultimate Software Group, Inc. and subsidiaries (“Ultimate” or the “Company”) reported voting results for its annual meeting of stockholders held on May 17, 2011 (the “Annual Meeting of Stockholders”) including the voting results for both Ultimate’s non-binding stockholder advisory vote on the compensation of its named executive officers (the “Say-on-Pay Vote”) and Ultimate’s non-binding stockholder advisory vote regarding the frequency for future Say-on-Pay Votes.  Except for the foregoing, this Amendment does not modify or update any other disclosure contained in the Original Filing, and this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original Filing.

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

On May 17, 2011, Ultimate reported in the Original Filing that a majority of its stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders had voted to recommend, on a non-binding advisory basis, an annual frequency for future Say-on-Pay Votes.

On July 25, 2011, Ultimate’s Board of Directors determined that, consistent with the Board of Directors’ recommendation for the Annual Meeting of Stockholders, Ultimate will hold future Say-on-Pay Votes on an annual basis until the next time the frequency of such vote is submitted to a vote of the stockholders.
