EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Current Report on Form 8-K/A is being filed as Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) to the Current Report on Form 8-K of Rayonier Inc. (the “Company”) originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 19, 2017 (the “Original Filing”). The Original Filing reported the final voting results of the Company’s 2017 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on May 18, 2017 (the “Annual Meeting”). The sole purpose of this Amendment is to disclose the Company’s decision as to the frequency with which executive compensation will be subject to future advisory shareholder votes. No other changes have been made to the Original Filing other than to provide the disclosure set forth in this Amendment.

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

At the Annual Meeting, shareholders of the Company voted, among other matters, on an advisory basis, as to the frequency with which executive compensation will be subject to future advisory shareholder votes. As previously reported in the Original Filing, the greatest number of votes was cast in favor of every “One Year”.

In accordance with the Board’s recommendation as set forth in the Company’s proxy statement for the Annual Meeting and consistent with the stated preference of the Company’s shareholders, the Company has determined that future advisory shareholder votes on executive compensation will be conducted on an annual basis, until the next advisory vote on this matter is held.
