ITEM 8.01    Other Events

 

At the March 8, 2017, annual meeting of shareholders, Mark T. Behrman was elected to the board of directors (the “Board”) of Panhandle Oil and Gas Inc. (the “Company”). Due to a scrivener’s error contained in the Company’s proxy statement dated January 27, 2017, Mr. Behrman was not included on the list of directors and nominees for whom the Board affirmatively determined by resolution are independent under the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual’s independence standards, applicable Securities and Exchange Commission rules and the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines. To avoid any potential confusion caused by that oversight, the Company hereby states that based on a review of the information provided by Mr. Behrman, the Board affirmatively determined by resolution that Mr. Behrman is independent. The Board has also determined that Mr. Behrman meets all applicable independence and financial literacy requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission and of the New York Stock Exchange required for members of the Audit Committee.
