This Current Report on Form 8-K/A amends and supplements the Current Report on Form 8-K of Columbus McKinnon Corporation (the “Company”) originally filed by the Company on July 27, 2011 (the “Initial Filing”). The sole purpose of the filing of this Current Report on Form 8-K/A is to disclose the Company’s determination with respect to the frequency of non-binding shareholder advisory votes on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers (each, a “say-on-pay vote”). No other changes have been made to the Initial Filing.
Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
On July 27, 2011, the Company held its annual meeting of shareholders. As previously disclosed in the Initial Filing, consistent with the recommendation of the Company’s Board of Directors, a majority of the Company’s shareholders voted in favor of conducting say-on-pay votes annually. In light of the shareholder vote, at a meeting of the Company’s Board of Directors held on October 23, 2011, it was determined that the Company will hold a say-on-pay vote annually until the next vote on the frequency of say-on-pay votes is required (which will be no later than the 2017 annual meeting of the Company’s shareholders).
SIGNATURE
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
