EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (this “Amendment”) is being filed to update the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by Watsco, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Company”) on June 8, 2023 (the “Original 8-K”). This Amendment is being filed solely to disclose, in accordance with SEC regulations, the Company’s decision in respect of the frequency of future non-binding, advisory shareholder votes regarding executive compensation. No changes have been made to the Original 8-K.

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

As previously reported in the Original 8-K, shareholders at the Company’s 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on June 5, 2023 voted, on a non-binding advisory basis, in favor of holding future advisory votes on compensation of the Company’s named executive officers every year. The Company’s Board of Directors has considered the outcome of that vote and decided that the Company will hold future non-binding, advisory votes on compensation of its named executive officers every year until the Company’s Board of Directors otherwise determines that a different frequency for such non-binding, advisory votes is in the best interest of the Company or until the next required vote on the frequency of such votes.
