Explanatory Note
This current report on Form 8-K/A is being filed as an
amendment to the current report on Form 8-K filed by IDEXX Laboratories, Inc. (the “Company”) with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on May 5, 2017 (the “Original Form 8-K”). The Original Form 8-K reported the final
voting results of the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 3, 2017 (the “Annual Meeting”). The
sole purpose of this amendment is to disclose the Company’s decision regarding how frequently it will conduct future shareholder
advisory votes to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers (“say-on-pay”). No other
changes have been made to the Original Form 8-K.
|
Item 5.07
|
Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
|
(d)
As
previously reported in the Original Form 8-K, in a non-binding advisory vote on the frequency of future say-on-pay votes held at
the Annual Meeting, 65,065,303 shares voted for annual votes, 84,157 shares voted for votes every two years, 5,942,572 shares
voted for votes every three years, 81,112 shares abstained and there were 8,978,293 broker non-votes. The Company has considered
the outcome of this advisory vote and has determined, as was recommended with respect to this proposal by the Company's board of
directors in the proxy statement for the 2017 Annual Meeting, that the Company will hold future say-on-pay votes on an annual basis
until the occurrence of the next advisory vote on the frequency of say-on-pay votes. The next advisory vote regarding the frequency
of say on pay votes is required to occur no later than the Company's 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

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.
