Explanatory Note

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (this “Amendment”) amends the Current Report on Form 8-K of WaFd, Inc. (the “Company”) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February 14, 2024 (the “Original Form 8-K”). The Original Form 8-K reported the final voting results of the Company’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on February 13, 2024 (the “2024 Annual Meeting”). The sole purpose of this Amendment is to update disclosures made under Item 5.07 to disclose the Company’s decision regarding whether advisory votes on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers (the “Say-on-Pay Vote”) should be held every one, two or three years (the “Frequency of Say on Pay Proposal”). No other changes have been made to the Original Form 8-K.


Item 5.07Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

As previously reported in the Original Form 8-K, in an advisory vote held at the 2024 Annual Meeting on the Frequency of Say on Pay Proposal, the Company’s stockholders, consistent with the recommendation of the Company’s Board of Directors, expressed their preference for a Say-on-Pay Vote to be conducted every year. In accordance with this vote and its previous recommendation, the Board has determined that the Company shall submit a Say-on-Pay Vote to a nonbinding advisory vote of the Company’s shareholders every year until the next required vote on the frequency of such shareholder votes on the compensation of executives.
