Summary
Garmin Ltd. (GRMN) filed this 8-K to amend a previous filing from June 10, 2019, regarding the results of its annual general meeting of shareholders held on June 7, 2019. The company identified an error in the tabulation of votes for the election of directors due to inconsistencies between voting instructions from "street name" shareholders and proxy cards from registered shareholders. While the corrected vote totals do not alter the outcome for any director nominees, Garmin is providing the accurate voting data for the re-election of five directors and the election of one new director. This filing ensures transparency and corrects the record for investors concerning the shareholder vote on board composition. The specific breakdown of votes for each director nominee is detailed in the filing.
