Explanatory Note
Linn Energy, LLC (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A to its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC’) on May 2, 2011 (the “Original Filing”) solely to disclose, as required by SEC regulations, the Company’s determination of the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation. This Amendment No.1 does not otherwise amend or revise the Original Filing.
Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
As reported in the Original Filing, at the Company’s 2011 annual meeting of unitholders held on April 26, 2011, the Company’s unitholders approved, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, holding a triennial (every three years) advisory vote on executive compensation. After considering the outcome of the advisory unitholder vote and other factors, the Company’s Board of Directors determined that the Company will hold a triennial non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation. Accordingly, the Company will request an advisory vote on executive compensation every three years in its future proxy materials until the next required vote on the frequency of the unitholder advisory vote on executive compensation.
SIGNATURES
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.
