Explanatory Note
Cobalt International Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 8–K/A to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8–K dated April 28, 2011, which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 29, 2011, to disclose the decision of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company regarding how frequently to have a stockholder advisory vote on executive compensation.
Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
As previously disclosed, at the 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on April 28, 2011, a majority of the Company’s stockholders voted, on an advisory non-binding basis, to hold an advisory non-binding vote on executive compensation every year. Consistent with this recommendation by the Company’s stockholders, the Board has determined that it will include an advisory non-binding stockholder vote on executive compensation in its proxy materials every year until the next vote on the frequency of the stockholder advisory vote on executive compensation.
