Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
On September 29, 2015, Hines Global REIT, Inc. (referred to herein as the “Company”) reconvened its annual meeting of stockholders. At the annual meeting, the Company’s stockholders elected each of the seven nominees listed below to serve as directors for a term ending at the 2016 annual meeting of stockholders, provided that each director will continue in office until his successor has been duly elected and qualifies, or until his earlier death, removal, resignation or retirement.
The voting results for each of the seven persons nominated to serve as directors are as follows:
For | Against | Authority Withheld or Abstained from Voting | |||
Jeffrey C. Hines | 76,825,521 | — | 1,661,092 | ||
Colin P. Shepherd | 76,745,525 | — | 1,741,088 | ||
Charles M. Baughn | 76,806,684 | — | 1,679,929 | ||
Jack L. Farley | 76,764,907 | — | 1,721,706 | ||
Thomas L. Mitchell | 76,657,633 | — | 1,828,980 | ||
John S. Moody | 76,741,592 | — | 1,745,021 | ||
Peter Shaper | 76,769,280 | — | 1,717,333 | ||
In addition to the voting described above, there were 74,485,326 broker non-votes with respect to the election of the seven persons nominated to serve as directors. 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.
