EXPLANATORY NOTE
The Current Report on Form 8-K, originally filed on June 10, 2011, is being amended to disclose the decision of Yongye International, Inc. (the “Company”) on the frequency of advisory shareholder votes on the compensation of executives, as required by section 14A(a)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
On June 10, 2011, the Company held the Company’s 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”). At the Annual Meeting, the stockholders reelected each of the following nominees to the board of directors of the Company for a one-year term: Zishen Wu, Taoran Sun, Qiang Zhao, Xiaochuan Guo, Sean Shao, Xindan Li and Rijun Zhang. Additionally, the stockholders ratified the appointment of KPMG as the Company’s independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010 and approved by advisory vote the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive offices, as disclosed under the caption Election of Directors—Executive Compensation, pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables, and narrative discussion in the Company’s filings with the SEC, and how frequently the Company should seek such an advisory vote on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers.
With respect to the advisory vote on frequency of advisory vote on executive compensation, the stockholders voted that such an advisory vote should be taken every three years. The Company has decided, in light of such advisory vote, to include an advisory stockholder vote on the compensation of executives in its proxy materials every three years.
