EXPLANATORY NOTE
Waste Connections, Inc.
(the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A to its Current Report on Form 8-K dated May 19,
2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 19, 2023 (the “Initial 8-K”), solely for the purpose
of disclosing under Item 5.07 of Form 8-K its decision, following its 2023 annual meeting of shareholders (the “Meeting”),
as to the frequency with which it expects to include a shareholder advisory vote on the compensation of executives in future annual meeting
proxy materials. This Amendment No. 1 does not otherwise revise the Initial 8-K in any way.
Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
At the Meeting, the Company’s
shareholders voted on an advisory proposal concerning the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation. As reported in
the Initial 8-K, consistent with the Board of Directors’ recommendation, the Company’s shareholders cast the highest number
of votes for an annual frequency (instead of a frequency of every two years or every three years).
Total Votes For Every Year: | |
| 216,366,415 | |
Total Votes For Every Two Years: | |
| 67,981 | |
Total Votes For Every Three Years: | |
| 965,413 | |
Total Votes Abstained: | |
| 5,584,299 | |
Total Broker Non-Votes: | |
| 6,669,445 | |
In light of this vote and
other factors, the Company’s Board of Directors, at its regularly scheduled board meeting held on July 25, 2023, determined
that the Company intends to continue to hold an advisory vote on executive compensation annually.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the U.S. Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
