EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A is being filed as an amendment (the "Amendment") to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by South Jersey Industries (the "Company") on May 2, 2011 (the "Original 8-K"). The Original 8-K was filed to report the results of the matters submitted to a vote at the Company’s 2011 annual stockholders meeting held on April 28, 2011. The sole purpose of this Amendment is to disclose the Company's decision regarding the frequency of the stockholder advisory (non-binding) vote on executive compensation. No other changes are being made to the Original 8-K.

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

As previously reported in the Original 8-K, with respect to the advisory vote regarding the frequency of a stockholder advisory vote on executive compensation, one year received the majority of the votes cast. In light of the voting results and other factors, the Company's Board of Directors has determined that the Company will hold an annual non-binding advisory vote on the compensation of its named executive officers.  The Company will hold annual non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation until the Company's Board of Directors elects to hold the next stockholder advisory vote on the frequency of advisory votes on executive compensation, which shall be no later than the Company's annual stockholders meeting in 2017, or until the Company's Board of Directors elects to implement a different frequency for such advisory votes.
