Explanatory Note
This current report on Form 8-K/A (this “Amendment”) amends the current report on Form 8-K, filed July 11, 2011 (the “Original Filing”), in which Cedar Fair, L.P. reported voting results for its annual meeting of unitholders held on July 7, 2011. Cedar Fair is filing this Amendment to include disclosure of its decision regarding how frequently the unitholder advisory votes on the compensation of Cedar Fair’s named executive officers will occur. Except for the foregoing, this Amendment does not amend, modify or update the disclosures contained in the Original Filing.
| Item 5.07 | Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders. |
At Cedar Fair’s annual meeting on July 7, 2011, the unitholders approved on an advisory, non-binding basis the holding of an advisory vote to approve named executive officers’ compensation on an annual basis, consistent with Cedar Fair’s recommendation. After considering these results, Cedar Fair has determined that it will include a unitholder advisory vote on the compensation of its named executives in its proxy materials annually until the next advisory vote on the frequency of unitholder votes on executive compensation, which will occur no later than Cedar Fair’s annual meeting in 2017.
