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

On May 23, 2013, Seacoast Banking Corporation of Florida (the “Company) held its Annual Meeting.  Of the 94,857,215 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the record date for the Annual Meeting, 88,251,626 shares were present at the meeting in person or by proxy.  The final results of each of the proposals voted on by the Company’s shareholders are described below:

Proposal 1 – Elect Directors: To re-elect four Class II directors. The vote for each director is as set forth below.

The four nominees were each re-elected by a plurality of the votes cast, and each will continue to serve as Class II directors with a term expiring at the Company’s 2016 Annual Meeting.

Proposal 2 – Approval and Adoption of the Seacoast 2013 Incentive Plan: To consider and act upon a proposal to approve and adopt the Seacoast 2013 Incentive Plan, reserving for issuance 6,500,000 shares of Common Stock for such purpose

The vote required to approve this proposal was the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the proposal.  Accordingly, this proposal was approved.

Proposal 3 - Ratification of Appointment of Independent Auditor: To ratify the appointment of KPMG LLP as independent auditor for the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013.

The vote required to approve this proposal was the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the proposal.  Accordingly, this proposal was approved.

Proposal 4 – Reverse Stock Split Extension: To extend the time frame from May 23, 2013 to May 22, 2014 in which our Board of Directors is permitted to (i) effect a reverse stock split of our Common Stock at one of two reverse split ratios, 1-for-5 or 1-for-10, as determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion, and (ii) reduce the number of authorized shares of our Common Stock by the reverse stock split ratio determined by the Board of Directors. 

The vote required to approve this proposal was the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the proposal. Accordingly, this proposal was approved. The Board of Directors has not made a determination as to whether it will affect a reverse stock split or the ratio or timing of any reverse stock split.

Proposal 5 – Advisory (Non-binding) Vote on Compensation of Named Executive Officers: To allow shareholders to endorse or not endorse, on a non-binding basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers as disclosed in the proxy statement:

The vote required to approve this non-binding advisory resolution was the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the proposal. Accordingly, this proposal was approved.

Proposal 6 – Advisory (Non-binding) Vote on Frequency of Holding Future Advisory Votes on Executive Compensation. To allow shareholders to vote on whether future votes on executive compensation such as the one in Proposal 5 should occur every year, every two years, or every three years.

The option of every “1 year” received the highest number of votes cast and therefor was deemed the frequency for the advisory vote on executive compensation selected by shareholders.

The Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) will take into account the outcome of the vote on the frequency of holding future advisory votes on executive compensation, and disclose its decision in an amendment to this Current Report on Form 8-K or on the Company’s next Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Board may decide that it is in the best interest of our shareholders to hold an advisory vote on executive compensation less frequently than the option approved by our shareholders.
