Explanatory Note

This Form 8-K/A amends the current report on Form 8-K dated and filed January 19, 2017 with respect to Lannett Company, Inc. (the “Company”).  The purpose of this amendment is to amend the disclosure in Item 5.07 setting forth the votes of security holders at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company held on January 18, 2017.  The Company has been informed by some of its stockholders that the broker for such stockholders had been instructed to vote the shares held by such shareholders in favor of the election of all six director nominees, but incorrectly completed the proxy card and voted to withhold votes from certain of the director nominees.  This amendment sets forth the votes as they should have been received had the incorrectly completed proxy cards been properly filled out.  This voting error had no impact on the outcome of the election, as each of the director nominees had received the majority of all votes cast for the election as directors of the Company.

Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Securities Holders

The adjusted voting totals are as follows:

1.              The stockholders elected all six director nominees to serve as members of the Company’s board of directors until the Company’s next Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until their respective successors have been duly elected and qualified.

The number of votes cast for or withheld, for each nominee, was as follows:

2.              The stockholders ratified the appointment of Grant Thornton, LLP as independent auditors. The number of votes cast for, against, or abstained was as follows:

Votes For:  32,843,608

Votes Against:  110,216

Abstain:  70,002
