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 Virtus Investment Partners, Inc. (the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 3, 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 shareholder advisory votes on executive compensation.  No other changes have been made to the Original Filing.

Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

At the Annual Meeting of the Company’s shareholders held on April 28, 2011, the holders of the Company’s Common Stock and Series B Preferred Stock, voting together, cast the highest number of votes for voting “every three years” as compared to “every one year” or “every two years” with regard to the advisory (non-binding) vote on the frequency of future shareholder votes on executive compensation.  Based on these results and consistent with the previous recommendation of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), the Board determined at its meeting held on July 28, 2011, its first regular meeting since the Annual Meeting, that the Company will hold an advisory (non-binding) vote on executive compensation on a triennial basis (every three years) until the next required advisory (non-binding) vote on the frequency of executive compensation. The Company is required to hold advisory votes on frequency at least once every six years.
