Explanatory Note
This Form 8-K/A (this “Amendment”) is being filed to amend the Form 8-K filed by Baker Hughes Company (the “Company”) on May 19, 2023 (the “Original 8-K”). The Original 8-K was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission to report the stockholder votes at the Company’s Annual Meeting held on May 16, 2023. The sole purpose of this Amendment is to disclose, in accordance with Item 5.07(d) of Form 8-K, the Board’s decision on the stockholder vote regarding the frequency of advisory votes on executive compensation. Except as set forth herein, no other modifications have been made to the Original 8-K.
Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
(d) At the Annual Meeting, the Company stockholders voted on, among other matters, an advisory proposal concerning the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation (the “Say on Pay Vote”). As reported in the Original 8-K, the stockholders voted for an annual advisory vote on the frequency of future Say on Pay Votes (the “Frequency Vote”). On July 27, 2023, the Board of Directors of the Company determined, in light of the results of the Frequency Vote, that the Company will include a Say on Pay Vote in its annual meeting proxy materials every year until the next required Frequency Vote is held.
