Explanatory Note
This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (this “Amendment”) amends the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Deluxe Corporation (the “Company”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 27, 2023 (the “Original Form 8-K”). The Original Form 8-K was filed to report the results of the Company’s 2023 annual shareholders’ meeting held on April 26, 2023 (the “2023 Annual Meeting”). The sole purpose of this Amendment is to disclose, in accordance with Item 5.07(d) of Form 8-K, the Company’s decision as to the frequency of future shareholder advisory votes regarding the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers (“Say on Pay” votes). Except as set forth herein, no other changes have been made to the Original Form 8-K.
Section 5 - Corporate Governance and Management
Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
As previously reported in the Original Form 8-K, in a non-binding advisory vote held at the 2023 Annual Meeting, stockholders approved one year as the frequency of future Say on Pay votes. The Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) has considered the outcome of this advisory vote and has determined, consistent with the recommendation made by the Board in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2023 Annual Meeting, that the Company will continue to hold an annual Say on Pay vote until the next vote on the frequency of holding such advisory votes, which is currently required to occur no later than the Company’s 2029 annual shareholder’s meeting.
