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 on May 12, 2011 by Colgate-Palmolive Company (the “Company”) in order to update
information disclosed under “Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders” regarding the results
of voting at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 6, 2011. The sole purpose of this amendment is to disclose
the Company’s decision regarding how frequently it will conduct future non-binding advisory votes on the compensation of
the Company’s named executive officers. No other changes are being made to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 12,
2011.
Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
(d) As previously reported, in a non-binding advisory vote at
the Company’s 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders concerning the frequency of future advisory votes on the compensation of
the Company’s named executive officers, 201,395,111 shares were voted for a frequency of every year, 81,745,618 shares were
voted for a frequency of every two years and 53,747,411 shares were voted for a frequency of every three years. Additionally, there
were 1,265,761 abstentions and 60,639,742 broker non-votes. After considering the preference of the majority of the Company’s
stockholders for a frequency of every year, the Company’s Board of Directors determined, at a meeting held on June 9, 2011,
that the Company will hold a non-binding advisory vote on the compensation of its named executive officers on an annual basis until
the next non-binding advisory vote on the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation is held.
