Item 5.02.  Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements for Certain Officers.

 

(e)  On May 10, 2012, the shareholders of Datalink Corporation  (the “Company”) voted to amend the Datalink Corporation 2011 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2011 Plan”) to increase the number of shares of common stock that may be issued pursuant to awards thereunder from 1,053,943 shares to 1,553,943 shares.  The summary of the 2011 Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the 2011Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference. A more detailed summary of the 2011Plan, as amended, can be found in the Company’s Proxy Statement for the 2012 Annual Meeting filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2012 (the “Proxy Statement”).

 

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

 

We held our Annual Meeting of Shareholders on May 10, 2012 (the “Annual Meeting”).  At the meeting, our shareholders elected all seven persons nominated by our Board of Directors to serve as directors until the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders or until their successors are elected and duly qualified.  In addition, our shareholders approved, by a non-binding advisory vote, the executive officer compensation as disclosed in the Proxy Statement, approved, by a non-binding advisory vote, an annual frequency of the advisory vote to approve our executive officer compensation, approved the amendment to the 2011 Plan to increase the number of shares of common stock that can be issued pursuant to awards under the 2011 Plan from 1,053,943 shares to 1,553,943 shares, and ratified the appointment of McGladrey Pullen, LLP as the Company’s independent public accountant for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012.  Set forth below are the final voting results for each of the proposals.
