Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
On September 17, 2015, Hines Global REIT, Inc. (referred to herein as the “Company”) held its annual meeting of stockholders. At the annual meeting, the Company’s stockholders ratified the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP, the member firms of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited, and their respective affiliates (collectively “Deloitte & Touche”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015.
With respect to the proposal to ratify the selection of Deloitte & Touche as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015, stockholders holding 150,491,951 shares voted in favor of the proposal, stockholders holding 819,018 shares voted against the proposal and stockholders holding 1,621,184 shares abstained from voting on the proposal. There were no broker non-votes with respect to this proposal because the brokers had discretionary voting power with respect to this proposal. Broker non-votes are counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum. A broker non-vote occurs when a broker holding shares of the Company’s common stock for a beneficial owner is present at the meeting, in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote, but does not vote on a particular proposal because the broker does not have discretionary voting power with respect to that item and has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner. A broker non-vote is not an indication of how the beneficial owner would have voted; it simply means that the beneficial owner did not instruct the broker as to how to vote his or her shares.
After the Company’s stockholders had ratified the selection of Deloitte & Touche at the annual meeting, the Company determined to adjourn the meeting in order to continue to solicit proxies with respect to the proposal to elect nominees to serve as directors. Due to the significant number of proxies received that represent broker non-votes with respect to this proposal, the Company has determined that it will continue to solicit proxies with respect to this proposal in order to obtain the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the shares of the Company’s common stock represented in person or by proxy at the meeting. The annual meeting will resume in order to hold a vote with respect to the proposal to elect nominees to serve as directors on September 29, 2015 in the 2nd floor Conference Center of Williams Tower, 2800 Post Oak Boulevard, Houston, Texas 77056 at 9:30 a.m., local time.
