Explanatory Note
This amendment to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Southside Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”) on April 22, 2013 (the “Original 8-K”) is being filed solely to correct a typographical error made under Item 5.07, Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders. No other changes have been made to the Original 8-K.
ITEM 5.07. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
The annual meeting of shareholders of Southside Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”) was held on April 18, 2013, in Tyler, Texas. Five directors were elected for a term of three years. The appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013, was ratified. The proposal to approve the restated certificate of formation did not receive the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote and therefore the restated certificate of formation will not become effective. The Company intends to resubmit the restated certificate of formation for approval at the 2014 annual meeting of shareholders.
The final voting results are set forth below:
