Item 5.07    SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

The annual meeting of the members of Lincolnway Energy was held on March 5, 2015. The only matters voted upon by the members at the annual meeting were the election of three directors for Lincolnway Energy and the ratification of the appointment of Lincolnway Energy's independent auditor for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2015.

Lincolnway Energy has ten directors, who are divided into three classes based upon the length of their term. Each director is elected to a three-year term and until his or her successor is elected, and the terms of the directors are staggered so that the term of three of the directors expire each year.

The three directors whose term expired at the annual meeting were William Couser, Rick Vaughan and Terry Wycoff.

At least twenty-five percent of the outstanding membership units needed to be represented at the annual meeting in order for there to be a quorum, and the vote of a plurality of the membership units which were voted on the election of the directors was the act of the members on that matter. A plurality vote means that the three nominees who received the highest number of votes would be elected to fill the three director positions. As noted below, however, there were only three nominees for the three director positions which were filled at the annual meeting. The three nominees would therefore be elected as directors so long as they received at least one vote.

There were three nominees for the three director positions. The nominees were William Couser, Rick Vaughan and Terry Wycoff, and they were each elected as a director at the annual meeting, to serve until the annual meeting of the members which will be held in 2018 and until their successors are elected.

The number of votes cast for, against or withheld, and the number of abstentions and broker non-votes with respect to the three nominees for election as a director at the annual meeting was as follows:

Withheld/Abstentions

William Couser

Rick Vaughan
17,730

Terry Wycoff

645

The directors whose term of office continued after the annual meeting of the members were Brian Conrad, Timothy Fevold, Jeff Taylor, Kurt Olson, James Hill, Greg Geoffroy and Richard Johnson.

The only other proposal voted upon by the members at the annual meeting was the ratification of the appointment of McGladrey & Pullen, LLP as Lincolnway Energy's independent auditor for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2015. The proposal was approved by the necessary vote of the members, and the number of votes cast for, against or withheld, and the number of abstentions and broker non-votes, regarding the proposal was as follows:







For
Against Or Withheld
Abstentions
Broker Non-Votes
