EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

This current report on Form 8-K/A (this “Amendment”) updates information originally provided under Item 5.07 in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 8, 2017 (the “Original Filing”), in which Acura Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) reported voting results for its 2017 annual meeting of stockholders held on November 8, 2017 (the “2017 Annual Meeting”), including the voting results for both the Company’s non-binding stockholder advisory vote on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers (the “Say-On-Pay Advisory Vote”) and the Company’s non-binding stockholder advisory vote regarding the frequency of future Say-On-Pay Advisory Votes. Except as set forth below, this Amendment does not modify or update any other disclosure contained in the Original Filing, and this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original Filing.

 

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

 

On November 8, 2017, at the Company’s 2017 Annual Meeting, the Company’s stockholders voted on, among other matters, an advisory proposal on the frequency with which the Company will hold future Say-On-Pay Advisory Votes. As previously reported in the Original Filing, the stockholders recommended, on a non-binding advisory basis, that the Company hold a Say-On-Pay Advisory Vote every three years. This result was consistent with the recommendation of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). In light of that vote, the Board has decided that the Company will hold the Say-On-Pay Vote every three years, until the next stockholder vote on the frequency of the Say-On-Pay Vote.
