EXPLANATORY NOTE
 
This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (this “Amendment”) updates information originally provided under Item 5.07 in a Current Report on Form 8-K, filed February 23, 2011 (the “Original Filing”), in which the Capitol Federal Financial, Inc. (the “Company”) reported voting results for its Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on February 22, 2011 (the “Annual Meeting”), including the voting results for both the Company’s stockholder advisory vote on the compensation of its named executive officers (the “Say on Pay Vote”) and the Company’s stockholder advisory vote regarding the frequency of future Say on Pay Votes (the “Frequency Vote”). The sole purpose of this Amendment is to revise Item 5.07 to disclose the Company’s decision, in light of the results of the Frequency Vote at the Annual Meeting, as to how frequently the Company will include a Say on Pay Vote in its annual meeting proxy materials until the next required Frequency Vote is held.  Except for the foregoing, this Amendment does not modify or update any other disclosure contained in the Original Filing, and this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original Filing.

ITEM 5.07 SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
 
Capitol Federal Financial, Inc. (the “Company”) held its annual meeting of stockholders on February 22, 2011 (the “Annual Meeting”). Holders of record of the Company’s common stock at the close of business on January 11, 2011, were entitled to vote on four proposals at the Annual Meeting. Stockholders elected Jeffrey M. Johnson, Michael T. McCoy, M.D., and Marilyn S. Ward each to a three-year term as director.  The stockholders approved, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s executives, as disclosed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables and related narrative disclosure in the Company’s proxy statement for the Annual Meeting (the “Say on Pay Vote”).  On the advisory vote on the frequency of future Say on Pay Votes (the “Frequency Vote”), the most votes were received for a frequency of one year.  Stockholders also ratified the appointment of Deloitte & Touche, LLP as auditors for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2011.  The final voting results of each proposal are set forth below.
