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

CPI Aerostructures, Inc. (the “Company”) held its annual meeting of stockholders on June 20, 2018 (the “Annual Meeting”). At the Annual Meeting, the Company’s stockholders considered four proposals: (i) election of two Class II directors to serve for the ensuing three-year period, or until their respective successor is elected and qualified; (ii) approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers; (iii) approval, on an advisory basis, of the frequency with which stockholders should have an advisory vote on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers; and (iv) ratification of the appointment of CohnReznick LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018.

 

The Company’s board of directors is divided into three classes, with one class of directors being elected each year and each class serving a three-year term. The term of office of the Company’s Class II directors, consisting of Walter Paulick and Eric Rosenfeld, expired at this year’s Annual Meeting. The term of office of the Company’s Class III directors, Carey Bond, Michael Faber, and Douglas McCrosson, expires at the 2019 annual meeting. The term of office of the Company’s Class I directors, Harvey J. Bazaar and Terry Stinson, expires at the 2020 annual meeting.

 

The results of the matters voted upon at the Annual Meeting are set forth below:

 

Proposal No. 1 – Election of Class II directors.

 

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

  

Name   For   Authority Withheld   Broker Non-Votes
Walter Paulick   5,347,896   601,594   2,242,969
Eric Rosenfeld   4,659,107   1,290,383   2,242,969

 

 

Proposal No. 2 – Approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of Named Executive Officers.

 

The compensation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (collectively, the “Named Executive Officers”) was approved, on an advisory basis, as follows:

 

For   Against   Abstain   Broker Non-Votes
5,545,759   348,899   54,832   2,242,969

 

   
 

 

Proposal No. 3 – Approval, on an advisory basis, the frequency with which the stockholders should have an advisory vote on the compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers.

 

The Company’s stockholders approved, on an advisory basis, holding an advisory vote on the compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers every one (1) year, as follows:

 

Every One Year   Every Two Years   Every Three Years   Abstain   Broker Non-Votes
3,624,224   27,474   2,274,793   21,989   2,242,969

 

The Company has considered the results of the advisory stockholder vote regarding the frequency of holding an advisory vote on the compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers, and has determined that it will follow the advice of the stockholders and will hold an advisory vote on the compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers every year. Accordingly, the Company’s next advisory vote on the compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers will occur at the Company’s 2019 annual meeting of stockholders.

 

Proposal No. 4 – Ratification of the appointment of CohnReznick LLP.

 

The ratification of the appointment of CohnReznick LLP was approved, as follows:
