EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (this “Amendment”) amends the Current Report on Form 8-K dated May 18, 2017 filed by General Cable Corporation (the “Company” ) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 23, 2017 (the “Original Form 8-K”). The Original Form 8-K reported the final voting results of the Company’s 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 18, 2017 (the “2017 Annual Meeting”). The sole purpose of this Amendment is to add item (d) below disclosing the Company’s decision as to the frequency of future stockholder advisory votes regarding the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers (“Say On Pay”). Except as set forth herein, no other modifications have been made to the Original Form 8-K.

In accordance with the results set forth herein and its previous recommendation in the Company’s definitive proxy statement for the 2017 Annual Meeting, the Board of Directors has determined that future advisory votes on executive compensation will be submitted to stockholders on an annual basis until the occurrence of the next advisory vote on the frequency of Say On Pay Votes, which is required to occur no later than the Company’s 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
