Item 5.07

Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

 

On June 13, 2017, the Company held its 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”).

 

At the Annual Meeting, the presence, in person or by proxy, of stockholders holding at least a majority of the voting power of the Company's outstanding Class A common stock (the “Class A Stock”) and Class B common stock (the “Class B Stock”) constituted a quorum for the transaction of business.  Each share of Class A Stock has one-twentieth (1/20th) of a vote and each share of Class B Stock has one (1) vote.  As of the record date of April 17, 2017 (the “Record Date”), the issued and outstanding voting securities of the Company were as follows:

 

1.     15,812,189 shares of the Class A Stock, equivalent to 790,609 votes outstanding of Class A Stock; and

 

2.     3,210,303 shares of the Class B Stock, equivalent to 3,210,303 votes outstanding of Class B Stock.

 

3.     Total shares outstanding equaled 19,022,492 equivalent to a total of 4,000,912 votes entitled to be cast.

 

Present at the meeting, in person or by proxy on a combined basis of Class A and Class B common stock, were 16,019,374 shares, equivalent to 3,518,528 shares voted, representing 87.94% of the shares entitled to vote as of the Record Date, constituting a quorum for the purposes of the Annual Meeting. The final voting results (based on votes eligible to be cast) on each of the matters submitted to a vote of stockholders were as follows:

 

Proposal No. 1. Election of Directors. The Company's stockholders elected, by a plurality of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting, each of the six director nominees to the board of directors, to serve until our 2018 annual meeting of stockholders or until his or her respective successor has been elected, as follows:
