Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
On June 29, 2017, Time Inc. (the "Company") held its annual meeting of stockholders ("Annual Meeting"). At the Annual Meeting, the stockholders:
• elected all ten of the Company's nominees for Director named in the 2017 Proxy Statement to the Company’s Board of Directors; • ratified the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for 2017; • approved, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s executive officers named in the 2017 Proxy Statement; and • did not approve a stockholder proposal regarding an independent Board chairman since the proposal received "for" votes from less than a majority of the votes duly cast by the holders of the Company's common stock. | |
