Explanatory Note

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (this “Amendment”) amends the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Easterly Government Properties, Inc. (the “Company”) with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on May 10, 2018 (the “Original Form 8-K”). The Original Form 8-K reported the final voting results of the matters voted on at the Company’s 2018 annual meeting of stockholders held on May 8, 2018 (the “Annual Meeting”). The sole purpose of this Amendment is to disclose, in accordance with Item 5.07(d) of Form 8-K, the Company’s decision as to the frequency of future non-binding advisory votes on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers. Except as set forth herein, no other modifications have been made to the Original Form 8-K.

 

ITEM 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

As previously disclosed in the Original Form 8-K, in a non-binding advisory vote on the frequency of stockholder advisory votes on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers held at the Annual Meeting, a majority of votes were cast in favor of holding non-binding advisory votes on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers every year. In accordance with these results and the previous recommendation of the Company’s board of directors (as set forth in the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Commission on April 9, 2018 ), the Company intends to hold such votes every year until the next required vote on the frequency of stockholder advisory votes on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, which will be no later than the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders in 2024.
