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

 

At the 2012 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of Chase Corporation (the “Company”) held on February 6, 2012, a non-binding, advisory vote was conducted concerning the frequency of future “say on pay” advisory votes on executive compensation.  In the Company’s proxy statement furnished to shareholders in connection with the Annual Meeting, its Board of Directors recommended a vote for every three years. At the Annual Meeting, a majority of votes cast on the matter were cast in favor of holding future advisory votes on executive compensation every three years.  After considering the preferences expressed at the meeting, the Company’s Board of Directors has determined to hold future non-binding, advisory votes on executive compensation every three years, so that the next such vote will be held at its 2015 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.  Under section 14A(a)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Company will hold another vote on the frequency of shareholder votes on the compensation of executives no later than its 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

 

The results of the Company’s shareholder votes at the Annual Meeting, including the vote regarding the frequency of future “say on pay” advisory votes on executive compensation, were disclosed in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed February 10, 2012. This Current Report on Form 8-K/A amends the Company’s original report solely for the purpose of disclosing its Board of Directors’ decision on the frequency of future say-on-pay votes in accordance with Item 5.07(d) of Form 8-K.
