Explanatory Note

On July 22, 2011 (the “Original Filing”), we filed the Current Report on Form 8-K disclosing the results of the voting at AVX Corporation’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on July 20, 2011. The sole purpose of this amendment is to disclose our decision regarding how frequently we will conduct shareholder advisory votes on executive compensation.  No other changes have been made to the Original Filing.

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

As previously reported, the majority of the votes cast by our shareholders voted, on an advisory basis, to hold an advisory vote on executive compensation every three years. Consistent with this recommendation by our shareholders, our Board of Directors have decided that it will include an advisory shareholder vote on executive compensation in its proxy materials every three years until the next stockholder vote on the frequency of an advisory vote on executive compensation, which will be no later than our Annual Meeting of Shareholders in 2017.
