Explanatory Note

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (this “Amendment”) amends the Current Report on Form 8-K of Biogen Inc. (the “Company”) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on June 29, 2023 (the “Original Form 8-K”). The Original Form 8-K reported the final voting results of the Company’s 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on June 26, 2023 (the “Annual Meeting”). The sole purpose of this Amendment is to disclose the Company’s decision regarding whether stockholder votes to approve the compensation of its named executive officers required by Section 14A(a)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 14a-21(a) promulgated thereunder (the “Say-on-Pay Vote”) should be held every one, two or three years (the “Say-on-Frequency Proposal”). No other changes have been made to the Original Form 8-K.

 

Item 5.07

Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

As previously reported on the Original Form 8-K, in an advisory vote held at the Annual Meeting on the Say-on-Frequency Proposal, the Company’s stockholders expressed their preference for a Say-on-Pay Vote to be conducted every year. The Company’s Board of Directors considered the outcome of this advisory vote and determined that future Say-on-Pay Votes will be conducted every year. The Company’s Board of Directors will re-evaluate this determination after the next Say-on-Frequency Proposal, which will be held no later than the 2029 annual meeting of stockholders.

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.
