EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

On June 3, 2019, Cancer Genetics, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Original Report”) to, among other things, report on the voting results of its annual meeting of stockholders held on May 31, 2019 (the “Annual Meeting”), including, among other matters, the results of the advisory vote of the stockholders on the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation. This Amendment No. 1 to Current Report on Form 8-K/A (the “Amendment”) is being filed to disclose the Company’s decision as to how frequently it will hold an advisory vote on executive compensation. Except as set forth in this Amendment, the disclosure contained in the Original Report remains unchanged.

 

 

 

 

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

 

As reported in the Original Report, the stockholders of the Company approved by a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting a proposal to hold an advisory vote on executive compensation every year. In light of this result and after further discussion by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), the Board determined at its meeting on July 18, 2019, that, until the next required advisory vote on the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation, the Company will hold an advisory vote on executive compensation every year.
