EXPLANATORY NOTE

National Fuel Gas Company (the “Company”) is filing this Form 8-K/A as an amendment (“Amendment No. 1”) to its Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 14, 2011 (the “Original Report”), for the sole purpose of disclosing the Company’s decision as to how frequently it will conduct advisory votes regarding compensation awarded to its named executive officers. This Amendment No. 1 does not amend the Original Report in any other way.

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

At the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on March 10, 2011, the Company’s stockholders voted on, among other matters, a proposal on the frequency of future stockholder advisory votes regarding compensation awarded to named executive officers. The votes provided on this frequency proposal were advisory votes. As previously reported by the Company, the option to hold annual advisory votes on executive compensation received the highest number of votes cast on the proposal, though not a majority of the votes cast on the proposal.

The Company’s Board of Directors has determined that the Company will conduct an advisory vote regarding compensation awarded to its named executive officers on an annual basis until the Company next holds an advisory vote on the frequency of such votes.
