EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (the “Amendment”) updates information disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 26, 2020 (the “Original Form 8-K”) relating to the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Spark Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) held on May 20, 2020 (the “Annual Meeting”). The sole purpose of this Amendment is to disclose the Company’s decision regarding how frequently it will conduct future advisory votes on executive compensation.

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

As previously reported in the Original Form 8-K, at the Annual Meeting, an advisory vote was conducted on the frequency of a vote approving, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers. The Company’s Board of Directors recommended an advisory vote every year on the compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers, and the plurality of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the matter voted in favor of annual advisory votes. The Board of Directors has considered the outcome of this advisory vote and has determined that the Company will hold a vote approving, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers every year until the next advisory vote on the frequency of shareholder votes on the compensation of the Company's Named Executive Officers, which is required to occur no later than 2026, or until the Company otherwise determines that a different frequency for such votes is in the best interests of the Company’s shareholders.
