EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

Molson Coors Brewing Company (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 to its Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 1, 2011 for the sole purpose of disclosing the Company’s decision regarding the frequency with which it will include advisory votes on the compensation of its named executive officers in future annual meeting proxy materials.

 

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

 

As previously reported, at the Company’s 2011 annual meeting of stockholders approximately 99% of the votes cast by stockholders were voted, on an advisory basis, in favor of holding advisory votes on named executive officer compensation every three years. In light of these results, the Company has determined to hold an advisory vote on named executive officer compensation every three years until the next required advisory vote on the frequency of future votes on named executive officer compensation.
