Summary
This filing is an amendment (Form 8-K/A) to a previous report filed on July 24, 2012, regarding the election of Sandra Beach Lin to American Electric Power Company, Inc.'s (AEP) Board of Directors. The original filing noted her election but omitted committee appointments due to her initial limited committee service. This amendment clarifies that Ms. Lin has now been appointed to serve on two key Board committees: the Audit Committee and the Committee on Directors and Corporate Governance. For investors, this provides further insight into the company's governance structure and the integration of new directors into critical oversight roles.
