Explanatory Note

This Form 8-K/A is being filed as an amendment (“Amendment No. 1”) to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Kansas City Southern (the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 9, 2011 (the “Original Filing”). The sole purpose of this Amendment No. 1 is to disclose the Company’s decision regarding how frequently it will conduct future stockholder advisory votes on executive compensation. No other changes are being made to the Original Filing.

Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

The Original Filing announced the final voting results of the matters acted upon by the Company’s stockholders at its Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 4, 2011. On August 2, 2011, the Board of Directors determined, consistent with the stockholders’ vote on the matter, to annually hold a stockholder advisory vote regarding the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers until the next vote on the frequency of such advisory vote is conducted or until the Board of Directors determines that a different frequency for such advisory vote would be in the best interest of the Company’s stockholders.
