Item 5.07.

Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

 

The Company held its Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) on October 27, 2016. At the Annual Meeting, the Company’s shareholders voted on the following four proposals: (i) the election of five directors to serve until the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders or until their successors are elected; (ii) to approve an amendment to the Company’s 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”), which increases the total number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2011 Plan by 500,000 shares; (iii) to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officer and; (iv) the ratification of the appointment of Squar, Milner, Peterson, Miranda & Williamson LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2017. Only shareholders of record as of September 19, 2016 (the “Record Date”) were entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting.

 

The results of the voting on each of the four proposals at the Annual Meeting are set forth below.

 

Proposal 1.     Election of Directors. At the Annual Meeting a total of five candidates were nominated for election to the Board of Directors to serve until the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders or until their successors are elected.

All five candidates for election to the Board were nominated by the Board of Directors. As a result, the election was uncontested and all of those six candidates were elected to serve as the directors of the Company until the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The following table sets forth the names of those six candidates and the respective numbers of votes cast for and withheld:
