EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

This Form 8-K/A is being filed as an amendment to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Hexcel Corporation (the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 6, 2011 (the “Original Report”), which reported the voting results for the matters voted on at the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders held on May 5, 2011.  The sole purpose of this amendment is to disclose the Company’s decision regarding how frequently it will conduct future stockholder advisory votes on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers.

 

Item 5.07                              Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

 

At the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders held on May 5, 2011, the Company’s stockholders voted on, among other matters, the frequency of future stockholder advisory votes on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers.  As reported by the Company on the Original Report, the frequency of every 1 year received the support of the majority of the votes cast. In light of these voting results, on May 5, 2011 the Company’s Board of Directors determined that the Company will hold a stockholder advisory vote on the compensation of named executive officers annually until the next required vote on the frequency of such votes.
