This Amendment No. 1 to Form 8-K (this “Amendment No. 1”) is being filed as an amendment to the Current Report on Form 8-K of Encana Corporation (the “Corporation”), filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 4, 2017 (the “Original Form 8-K”). The Original Form 8-K was filed to report the final voting results of the Corporation’s 2017 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on May 2, 2017. The sole purpose of this Amendment No. 1 is to disclose the Corporation’s decision regarding the frequency of future shareholder votes to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation of the Corporation’s named executive officers (“Say-on-Pay”). Except for the foregoing, this Amendment No. 1 does not modify or update any other disclosure contained in the Original Form 8-K.
