Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
Hill-Rom Holdings, Inc. (the "Corporation") filed a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 10, 2011 (the “Original 8-K”), relating to the voting results at its annual meeting of shareholders on March 8, 2011. During that meeting, the shareholders voted, on an advisory basis, to hold non-binding votes on executive compensation annually. As previously disclosed by the Corporation, this vote was consistent with the Corporation’s already existing policy of holding such advisory votes regarding executive compensation on an annual basis. The purpose of this filing is to amend the Original 8-K to incorporate the Corporation’s previous public disclosure that the Board has determined to continue to have these advisory votes on executive compensation on an annual basis in the future. The remainder of the information contained in the Original 8-K is not amended.
On February 14, 2012, the Corporation announced that it had completed its previously announced $85 million purchase of the Germany-based Völker group. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.
The following exhibit is furnished herewith:
99.1 Press release dated February 14, 2012 issued by the Corporation.
SIGNATURE
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
