Explanatory Note

This current report on Form 8-K/A updates information provided on a Form 8-K dated June 10, 2011, relating to the disclosures made under Item 5.07, Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders, associated with the Union Drilling, Inc. (the “Company”) Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on June 9, 2011.

 

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

(d) As previously reported, in an advisory vote on the frequency of the advisory vote on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers held at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders on June 9, 2011, 11,533,102 shares voted for three years, 16,007 shares voted for two years, 8,538,399 shares voted for one year, 917,476 shares abstained and there were 1,605,688 broker non-votes.

SEC regulations state that the Company must hold these votes on frequency at least once every six years. Given these voting results and other factors, the Company’s board of directors, at its August 2, 2011 meeting, decided that advisory votes on executive compensation will be submitted to stockholders on a triennial basis until the next advisory vote on the frequency of stockholder votes on executive compensation, which will occur not later than the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders in 2017. The next advisory vote on executive compensation will be at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders in 2014.
