Item 5.07 | Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders. |
The 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of MPG Office Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) was held on June 16, 2011. Proxies for the meeting were solicited pursuant to Regulation 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), and there was no solicitation in opposition to the recommendations of our board of directors.
Proposal 1 concerned the election of six directors to serve until the 2012 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualify. Each of the nominees for director listed in the proxy statement was elected by a plurality of votes cast pursuant to the process described in the proxy statement, as follows:
Name of Nominee | Votes “FOR” | Votes “WITHHELD” | Broker “NON-VOTES” | ||||||
Christine N. Garvey | 22,311,292 | 844,121 | 16,656,787 | ||||||
Michael J. Gillfillan | 22,379,844 | 775,569 | 16,656,787 | ||||||
Joseph P. Sullivan | 22,306,142 | 849,271 | 16,656,787 | ||||||
George A. Vandeman | 22,311,502 | 843,911 | 16,656,787 | ||||||
Paul M. Watson | 22,374,144 | 781,269 | 16,656,787 | ||||||
David L. Weinstein | 22,378,044 | 777,369 | 16,656,787 | ||||||
Proposal 2 concerned the adoption, on an advisory basis, of a resolution approving the compensation of certain executives (“say-on-pay vote”), as described in the Company’s 2011 Proxy Statement. The compensation of certain executives was approved by the following vote:
Votes “FOR” | Votes “AGAINST” | Shares “ABSTAINING” | Broker “NON-VOTES” | |||||||
22,724,584 | 328,128 | 102,701 | 16,656,787 | |||||||
Proposal 3 concerned the selection, on an advisory basis, of the frequency of holding future say-on-pay votes:
“EVERY 1 YEAR” | “EVERY 2 YEARS” | “EVERY 3 YEARS” | Shares “ABSTAINING” | Broker “NON-VOTES” | |||||||||
20,749,841 | 35,699 | 2,308,867 | 61,006 | 16,656,787 | |||||||||
Based on these results, following the 2011 Annual Meeting, the Company’s board of directors adopted a resolution providing that an advisory vote on the compensation of certain executives of the Company would be held every 1 year until the next required vote on the frequency of holding such votes.
Proposal 4 concerned the ratification of the selection of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011. The selection of KPMG LLP was ratified by the following vote:
Votes “FOR” | Votes “AGAINST” | Shares “ABSTAINING” | Broker “NON-VOTES” | ||||||
39,349,105 | 236,582 | 226,513 | N/A | ||||||
Under applicable law, Proposal 1 required the affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast and Proposals 2, 3 and 4 required the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast. With respect to each proposal, abstentions and broker non-votes were not counted as votes cast, and thus had no effect as to whether the proposal was approved.
