Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
On October 14, 2014, Southside Bancshares, Inc., a Texas corporation (“Southside”), held a special meeting of shareholders (the “Special Meeting”) in Tyler, Texas, related to its pending merger with OmniAmerican Bancorp, Inc. (“OmniAmerican”) pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 28, 2014, by and among Southside, Omega Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Southside (“Omega Sub”), and OmniAmerican (the “Merger Agreement”). The Merger Agreement provides for the merger of Omega Sub with and into OmniAmerican, with OmniAmerican as the surviving corporation (the “First Merger”). Subsequent to the First Merger, OmniAmerican will merge with and into Southside, with Southside as the surviving corporation.
The following is a summary of the voting results for each proposal.
Proposal 1. Southside’s shareholders approved the issuance of shares of Southside common stock to the stockholders of OmniAmerican in connection with the First Merger, as set forth below:
For | Against | Abstain |
10,298,382 | 30,460 | 167,657 |
Proposal 2. A proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies to approve the share issuance proposal was not submitted to a vote of shareholders at the Special Meeting, as sufficient votes were cast at the Special Meeting to approve the share issuance proposal.
