Item 3.03.    Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.
An amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, of SemGroup Corporation (the “Company”) to increase the number of authorized shares of Class A Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share, from 90,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock to 180,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock was approved by the stockholders of the Company at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 16, 2018 (the “2018 Annual Meeting”). A Certificate of Amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, was filed by the Company with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on May 18, 2018. The Certificate of Amendment is attached as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Item 5.07.    Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

Stockholders were asked to vote on four proposals at the 2018 Annual Meeting. A total of 79,027,265 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock were entitled to vote as of March 29, 2018, the record date for the 2018 Annual Meeting (the “Record Date”). There were 63,374,571 shares of Class A Common Stock present, in person or by proxy, at the 2018 Annual Meeting (or 80.2% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock). As of the Record Date, there were 350,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Cumulative Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock (“Preferred Stock”) outstanding. Holders of shares of Preferred Stock were entitled to vote together with the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock as a single class. Each holder of shares of Preferred Stock was entitled to a number of votes equal to the number of votes such holder would have had if all shares of Preferred Stock held by such holder had been converted into shares of Class A Common Stock as of the Record Date. As of the Record Date, the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock were convertible into an aggregate of 10,606,061 shares of Class A Common Stock and such amount represented an equal number of votes that holders of Preferred Stock were entitled to cast, in person or by proxy, at the 2018 Annual Meeting. Giving effect to the Preferred Stock on an as-converted basis, there were 10,606,061 shares of Preferred Stock present, in person or by proxy, at the 2018 Annual Meeting.

Set forth below are the matters acted upon by the stockholders at the 2018 Annual Meeting, and the final voting results of each such proposal. Voting results below give effect to votes cast, in person or by proxy, by holders of Preferred Stock on an as-converted basis.
