Explanatory Note

On September 20, 2011, Exide Technologies (the “Company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Original Form 8-K”) related to the Company’s 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on September 16, 2011 (the “2011 Annual Meeting”). This Amendment No. 1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K/A is being filed solely to update the disclosure made under Item 5.07 of the Original Form 8-K to disclose the determination of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) as to how frequently the Company will include in its proxy materials the required non-binding advisory vote on the compensation of its named executive officers. No other changes have been made to the Original Form 8-K.

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

As previously reported in the Original Form 8-K, pursuant to an advisory vote held at the 2011 Annual Meeting, stockholders representing more than a majority of the votes cast recommended that the Company hold future advisory votes on the compensation of its named executive officers on an annual basis. In light of these voting results and other factors, the Board has elected to include in the Company’s proxy materials a non-binding advisory vote to approve the compensation of its named executive officers on an annual basis until no earlier than such time as the results of the next required non-binding advisory vote on the frequency of each such proposal are available.
