Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

Explanatory Note

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A is being filed as an amendment to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 20, 2011 by Erie Indemnity Company (the "Company") to update information previously disclosed under "Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders" regarding the results of voting at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on April 19, 2011. The sole purpose of this amendment is to disclose the Company’s decision regarding how frequently it will conduct a non-binding advisory vote on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers. No other changes are being made to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 20, 2011.

(d) As previously reported, in a non-binding advisory vote at the Company’s 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders concerning the frequency of future advisory votes on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, 2,523 of the voted shares selected "every three years" as the preferred frequency of an advisory vote on executive compensation, with 20 votes selecting "every year," two votes selecting "every two years" and no abstentions. After considering the preference of the majority of the Company’s voting shareholders for a frequency of every three years, the Company’s Board of Directors determined, at a meeting held on August 2, 2011, that the Company will hold a non-binding advisory vote on the compensation of its named executive officers every three years until the next non-binding advisory vote on the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation is held or until the Board of Directors otherwise determines that a different frequency for such advisory votes is in the best interest of the Company.
