Item 5.07.

Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

 

We held our annual meeting of shareholders on June 13, 2017. At the annual meeting, our shareholders considered two proposals: (i) election of two Class I directors to serve for the ensuing three-year period until their respective successor is elected and qualified and election of one Class III director to hold office until the Class III term expires in 2019 and a successor is elected and qualified and (ii) ratification of the appointment of CohnReznick LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017.

 

Our board of directors is divided into three classes with one class of directors being elected in each year and each class serving a three-year term. The term of office of our Class I directors, consisting of Harvey Bazaar and Terry Stinson expired at this year’s annual meeting. The term of office of our Class II directors, Walter Paulick and Eric Rosenfeld, will expire at our annual meeting in 2018. The term of office of our Class III directors, Michael Faber, Douglas McCrosson and Carey Bond, will expire at our annual meeting in 2019.

 

As previously announced in December 2016, our board of directors increased size from seven to eight members and appointed Carey Bond to fill the vacancy created by such increase until the annual meeting held on June 13, 2017. Pursuant to New York law and the Company’s bylaws, our newly created board position may not be classified until the next annual meeting of shareholders, and any directors appointed by our board of directors to fill a vacancy serve only until our next annual meeting.

 

Accordingly, our board of directors nominated Mr. Bond for election to serve as a Class III director until the end of the Class III term at the 2019 annual meeting, concurrent with Class III members Douglass McCrosson and Michael Faber.

 

The results of the matters voted upon at the annual meeting are below.

 

Proposal No. 1 – Election of Class I and Class III directors.

 

The election of each director nominee was approved, as follows:

  

Name   For   Authority Withheld   Broker Non-Votes

Terry Stinson (Class I)   5,812,734   381,949   1,719,563
Carey Bond (Class III)   5,796,255   398,428   1,719,563

 

 Proposal No. 2 – Ratification of the appointment of CohnReznick LLP.
