Explanatory Note: This Amendment No. 1 to Form 8-K is being filed to correct a statement made in a Form 8-K originally filed by DPL Inc. (“DPL”) on September 23, 2011, as described in Item 8.01 below.

 

Item 8.01                                             Other Events.

 

On September 23, 2011, DPL issued a press release and filed a Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission announcing that DPL’s shareholders had approved all of the proposals presented at DPL’s 2011 annual meeting of shareholders (the “2011 Annual Meeting”), including the proposal related to amending DPL’s Regulations to reduce to a simple majority the voting percentage of shareholder votes needed to amend certain sections of DPL’s Regulations (the “Regulations Proposal”).

 

The Regulations Proposal was classified by DPL’s proxy tabulator in its records as a “routine” proposal, rather than a “non-routine” proposal.  DPL’s proxy statement for the 2011 Annual Meeting, however, classified the proposal as a non-routine proposal.  Uninstructed shares cast by brokers and other nominees that are counted for routine matters are considered broker non-votes and are not counted in the voting results for non-routine matters.  In addition, DPL’s proxy statement reported that a simple majority was required to approve the Regulations Proposal.  In fact, the affirmative vote of holders of two-thirds of the outstanding common stock of DPL was required to approve the proposal.  After excluding broker non-votes from the tabulation of this non-routine proposal, and accounting for the two-thirds shareholder vote requirement for the proposal, the voting results showed that the Regulations Proposal was not approved by DPL’s shareholders.

 

Other than the Regulations Proposal, all of the proposals presented at the 2011 Annual Meeting were approved by DPL’s shareholders.
