Explanatory Note

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (this “Amendment”) amends the Current Report on Form 8-K of Akers Biosciences, Inc. (the “Company”) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on August 28, 2020, as amended on September 1, 2020 (the “Original Form 8-K”). The Original Form 8-K reported the final voting results of the Company’s 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on August 27, 2020 (the “2020 Annual Meeting”). The sole purpose of this Amendment is to disclose the Company’s decision regarding how frequently it will conduct future stockholder advisory votes to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers (“Say-on-Pay Vote(s)”). 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 in the Original Form 8-K, in an advisory vote held at the 2020 Annual Meeting on the frequency of future Say-on-Pay Votes, the Company’s stockholders expressed their preference for a Say-on-Pay Vote to be conducted every three years. On January 22, 2021, 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 three years. The Company’s board of directors will re-evaluate this determination after the next stockholder advisory vote on the frequency of Say-on-Pay Votes (which will be at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, unless presented earlier).

SIGNATURE

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.
