EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Form 8-K/A (the “Amendment”) updates information disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 20, 2011 (the “Original Filing”) relating to The Wet Seal, Inc. (“Wet Seal”) 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 18, 2011 (the “Annual Meeting”). The sole purpose of this Amendment is to disclose Wet Seal’s decision as to how frequently it will conduct future stockholder advisory votes regarding compensation awarded to its named executive officers. No other changes have been made to the Original Filing.
Item 5.07(d). Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
As previously reported in the Original Filing, at the Annual Meeting, an advisory vote was conducted on the frequency of future stockholder advisory votes on compensation awarded to named executive officers. A majority of the shares of Wet Seal’s Class A common stock cast on the proposal were voted for holding such advisory votes on an annual basis. Wet Seal has considered the outcome of this advisory vote and has determined, as was recommended with respect to this proposal by Wet Seal’s board of directors in the proxy statement for the Annual Meeting, that Wet Seal will hold an annual stockholder advisory vote on executive compensation awarded to named executive officers.
