Explanatory Note
On November 21, 2011, RealNetworks, Inc. (“RealNetworks” or the “Company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K dated November 16, 2011 (the “Initial 8-K”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission to report the voting results on the matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s shareholders at its Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on November 16, 2011 (the “2011 Annual Meeting”). This Amendment No. 1 to the Initial 8-K (this “Amendment”) is being filed in order to disclose the Company’s decision on how frequently it will include a shareholder proposal in its proxy materials regarding the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers in light of the shareholder vote on frequency of future advisory vote on executive compensation at the 2011 Annual Meeting. No other changes are being made to the Initial 8-K.
