EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (the “Amendment”) amends the Current Report on Form 8-K dated September 13, 2016 filed by Federated National Holding Company (the “Company”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on September 15, 2016 (the “Original Form 8-K”). The Original Form 8-K reported the final voting results of the Company’s 2016 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on September 13, 2016 (the “2016 Annual Meeting”). The sole purpose of this Amendment is to disclose the Company’s decision regarding how frequently it will conduct future shareholder advisory votes to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers (“say-on-pay”). No other changes have been made to the Original Form 8-K.

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

As previously reported in the Original Form 8-K, in the non-binding advisory vote on the frequency of future say-on-pay votes held at the 2016 Annual Meeting, 9,607,676 shares voted for one year, 98,749 shares voted for two years, 828,355 shares voted for three years, 82,290 shares abstained, and there were 2,790,006 broker non-votes. The Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) has considered the outcome of this advisory vote and has determined that, consistent with the Board’s recommendation on this proposal in the proxy statement for the 2016 Annual Meeting, the Company will hold future say-on-pay votes annually until the next advisory vote on the frequency of say-on-pay votes. The next advisory vote on the frequency of say on pay votes is required to occur no later than the Company’s 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
