Item 5.07 | Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders. |
In the proxy statement that U.S. Silica Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) provided to stockholders in connection with the Company’s 2020 annual stockholder meeting (the “Annual Meeting”), the Company’s Board of Directors recommended that the stockholders vote, on an advisory basis, in favor of an annual frequency for future “say-on-pay” votes. Say-on-pay votes are periodic, nonbinding stockholder votes to approve the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers as disclosed in the Company’s proxy statements, and are required under Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
At the Annual Meeting on May 7, 2020, approximately 97% of the shares voting on the matter voted in favor of an annual frequency for say-on-pay votes. On July 16, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an annual frequency for future say-on-pay votes. As a result, the Company expects that a say-on-pay vote will be held each year through 2026, when the next stockholder vote on the frequency of say-on-pay votes is required under the Exchange Act.
The results of the stockholder votes at the Annual Meeting were disclosed by the Company on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 7, 2020 (the “Original Report”). This Current Report on Form 8-K/A amends the Original Report solely for the purpose of disclosing the Company’s decision on the frequency of future say-on-pay votes.
