EXPLANATORYNOTE

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (this “Amendment”) amends the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Protara Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 10, 2020 (the “Original Current Report”). The Original Current Report reported the final voting results of the Company’s 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on June 9, 2020 (the “Annual Meeting”).  The 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”).

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

As reported in the Original Current Report, at the Annual Meeting, the Company’s stockholders that voted on proposal 4 indicated a preference, on an advisory basis, to hold the Company’s future say-on-pay advisory vote on an annual basis. In accordance with the original recommendation of the Company’s board of directors, and consistent with the stockholder voting results, on October 6, 2020, the Company’s compensation committee determined that the advisory say-on-pay vote will be conducted annually, until the next shareholder vote on the preferred frequency of shareholder advisory votes, which vote will occur no later than the Company’s 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
