The majority of ORI shareholders recommended that the Company hold an annual advisory vote on executive compensation. After considering this vote, the Board of Directors of ORI decided that the Company will hold future advisory votes on executive compensation on an annual basis until the Company next considers this issue. It is anticipated that the Company’s shareholder shall again vote on the frequency of shareholders votes on executive compensation no earlier than 2014 and no later than 2017. Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.       OLD REPUBLIC INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION   Registrant             Date: August 31, 2011 By: __/s/ Spencer LeRoy III_________________________     Spencer LeRoy III     Senior Vice President,     Secretary and General Counsel
