Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to Vote of Security Holders
On Tuesday, May 29, 2018, C&J Energy Services, Inc. (“C&J” or the “Company”) held its 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). At the Annual Meeting, C&J’s stockholders voted on the following proposals, and the final voting results for each proposal are set forth below:
Proposal 1 – The Election of Two Directors to Serve as Class I Directors on the Company’s Board of Directors until the Company’s 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders:
A) | Stuart Brightman |
FOR | AGAINST / WITHHOLD | BROKER NON-VOTES | ||
# of Votes Cast | % of Proposal Votes | # of Votes Cast | % of Proposal Votes | # of Votes Cast |
40,177,397 | 70.4% | 16,879,922 | 29.6% | 4,498,299 |
B) | Michael Zawadzki |
FOR | AGAINST / WITHHOLD | BROKER NON-VOTES | ||
# of Votes Cast | % of Proposal Votes | # of Votes Cast | % of Proposal Votes | # of Votes Cast |
39,739,080 | 69.7% | 17,318,239 | 30.3% | 4,498,299 |
Each director nominee was elected by the Company’s stockholders, as recommended by the Company’s Board of Directors.
Proposal 2 – The Approval, on an Advisory Basis, of the 2017 Compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers:
FOR | AGAINST | WITHHOLD / ABSTAIN | BROKER NON-VOTES | |||
# of Votes Cast | % of Proposal Votes | # of Votes Cast | % of Proposal Votes | # of Votes Cast | % of Proposal Votes | # of Votes Cast |
33,372,300 | 58.5% | 23,388,991 | 41.0% | 296,028 | 0.5% | 4,498,299 |
As reflected above, the Company’s stockholders approved, on an advisory basis, the 2017 compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, as recommended by the Company’s Board of Directors. This is an advisory vote and is not binding upon the Company, the Compensation Committee or the Board of Directors. However, because the Company values the views of its stockholders, the Compensation Committee, which is comprised solely of independent directors and is responsible for, among other things, designing and administering the Company’s executive compensation program, will consider the results of this advisory vote, along with all other feedback and expressions of stockholder views it has received, and may in the future receive, on specific policies and desirable actions, when considering future decisions with respect to executive compensation.
Proposal 3 –The Approval, on an Advisory Basis, of the Frequency on which the Company will in the Future Submit a Proposal to Stockholders to Approve, on an Advisory Basis, Executive Compensation:
ONE (1) YEAR | TWO (2) YEARS | THREE (3) YEARS | WITHHOLD / ABSTAIN | BROKER NON-VOTE | ||||
56,435,257 | 2,788 | 324,099 | 295,175 | 4,498,299 |
The Company’s stockholders approved, on an advisory basis, one (1) year as the preferred frequency on which the Company will in the future submit a proposal to stockholders to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, as recommended by the Company's Board of Directors. In accordance with these results and its previous recommendation, the Company’s Board of Directors determined that future advisory votes on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers will be held every year until the next required advisory vote on the frequency of stockholder votes on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, which the Company’s expects to hold no later than its 2024 annual meeting of stockholders.
Proposal 4 – The Ratification of the Appointment of KPMG LLP as the Company’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for the Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2018:
FOR | AGAINST | WITHHOLD / ABSTAIN | |||
# of Votes Cast | % of Proposal Votes | # of Votes Cast | % of Proposal Votes | # of Votes Cast | % of Proposal Votes |
61,546,170 | 100.0% | 9,308 | 0.0% | 140 | 0.0% |
The Company’s stockholders ratified the selection of KPMG LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting for the year ending December 31, 2018, as recommended by the Company’s Board of Directors.
