EXPLANATORY NOTE
This further amended Current Report on Form 8-K/A (the “Amendment”) is being filed solely for the purpose of amending the Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed on the date hereof to correct the date on which the Board of Directors determined the frequency of advisory votes on executive compensation.
This Amendment updates information disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 20, 2011 (the "Original Form 8-K") relating to the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Eagle Bulk Shipping Inc. (the "Company") held on June 17, 2011 (the "Annual Meeting"). This Amendment discloses the Company's decision regarding how frequently it will conduct future advisory votes on executive compensation.
ITEM 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
As previously reported in the Original Form 8-K, at the Annual Meeting, an advisory vote was conducted on the frequency of future advisory votes to approve executive compensation. A plurality of the votes cast were in favor of holding such advisory votes every three years. The Company's Board of Directors considered the outcome of this advisory vote at a meeting held on August 2, 2011 and determined that the Company will hold an advisory vote on executive compensation every three years, as the Board of Directors had recommended in the proxy statement for the Annual Meeting.
