Explanatory Note

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (“Amendment”) is being filed as an amendment to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Bellerophon Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 26, 2021 (the “Original 8-K”). The Original 8-K reported the results of matters voted upon at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on May 26, 2021 (the “Annual Meeting”). This Amendment is being filed solely to disclose the determination of the Company’s Board of Directors regarding how frequently the Company will hold future non-binding, advisory votes on executive compensation.
​

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

(d) As reported in the Original 8-K, a plurality of the votes cast by the shareholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, in a non-binding, advisory vote, favored an annual vote on executive compensation. Accordingly, after consideration of these voting results and other factors, the Board of Directors has determined that the Company will hold future non-binding, advisory votes of shareholders to approve the compensation of the named executive officers on an annual basis until the next non-binding shareholder vote on the frequency of shareholder votes on executive compensation, or until the Board of Directors otherwise determines a different frequency for such non-binding votes.
