Explanatory Note
This Report on Form 8-K/A amends the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 5, 2014 by Lion Biotechnologies, Inc. (“our” or the “Company”) for the sole purpose of disclosing the Company’s decision regarding how frequently it will conduct stockholder advisory votes on executive compensation.
ITEM 5.07 SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
On November 3, 2014, at our annual meeting of stockholders, our stockholders voted on, among other matters, an advisory proposal on the frequency with which we will hold an advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers. As previously reported in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 5, 2014, our stockholders recommended, on an advisory basis, that the Company include a stockholder advisory vote on executive compensation in the Company’s proxy materials every year; our board of directors had recommended a three-year frequency of the advisory votes on the compensation of our named executive officers. At a meeting held on December 5, 2014, the Company’s Compensation Committee decided to follow the stockholders’ recommendation and to include on an annual basis the stockholder say-on-pay advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers in future proxy statements until the next required vote on the frequency of stockholder votes on the compensation of executives.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this Report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
