AV Homes, Inc. (the “Company”) held its annual meeting of stockholders on June 1, 2017 (the “2017 Annual Meeting”). At the 2017 Annual Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved the AV Homes, Inc. 2015 Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended and restated (the “Restated 2015 Plan”). The Restated 2015 Plan amends and restates the Company’s 2015 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2015 Plan”) by increasing the aggregate number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock that may be issued under the Restated 2015 Plan by 1,000,000 shares. The amendments to the 2015 Plan also (i) require that any dividends and dividend equivalents payable or credited on unvested full value awards must be subject to the same restrictions and risk of forfeiture as the underlying shares or share equivalents; (ii) increase the maximum amount payable under cash incentive awards and cash-denominated full value awards that constitute performance based compensation to $2 million per participant in any calendar year; and (iii) limit the amount of awards each non-employee director can receive in any calendar year to an annual grant date fair value of $500,000, including annual cash compensation.

Stockholder approval of the Restated 2015 Plan also constituted approval of the material terms thereof for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.

The terms of the Restated 2015 Plan are described in more detail in the Company’s definitive proxy statement for the 2017 Annual Meeting, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 19, 2017, which description is incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the Restated 2015 Plan was filed as Appendix A to the 2017 Proxy Statement.

At the 2017 Annual Meeting, the Company’s stockholders (1) re-elected each of the persons listed below to serve as a member of the board of directors of the Company until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until his successor shall be elected and shall qualify, or until his death, resignation or removal; (2) ratified the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company for the year ending December 31, 2017; (3) approved, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the named executive officers of the Company (“Say on Pay”); (4) approved on an advisory basis, an annual frequency for future Say on Pay votes; and (5) approved the Restated 2015 Plan.

Shares were voted as follows:

Proposal 1. Election of Directors

Proposal 2. Ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche, LLP as independent registered public accounting firm for the Company for the year ending December 31, 2017

Proposal 3. Approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of named executive officers of the Company (“Say on Pay”)

Proposal 4. Advisory vote on the frequency of future Say on Pay votes

Proposal 5. Approval of the AV Homes, Inc. 2015 Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended and restated
