EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Current Report on Form 8-K/A is being filed as an amendment to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 31, 2011 (the Original Report), by A123 Systems, Inc. (the Company), in order to supplement the information disclosed under Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders regarding the results of voting at the Companys Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 25, 2011 (the 2011 Annual Meeting). Except as expressly set forth herein, this amendment does not amend, modify or update the disclosures contained in the Original Report.
Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
At the Companys 2011 Annual Meeting, its stockholders selected, on an advisory basis, the holding of an advisory vote on the compensation of the Companys named executive officers annually. Based on the Board of Directors recommendation and the stockholder voting results for this proposal at the 2011 Annual Meeting, the Companys Board of Directors has determined that the Company will hold future stockholder advisory votes on the compensation of its named executive officers on an annual basis until the next required advisory vote of the Companys stockholders on the frequency of stockholder advisory votes on executive compensation, or the Board of Directors otherwise determines that a different frequency for such advisory vote is in the best interests of the stockholders of the Company.
SIGNATURE
