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

On September 9, 2020, Hines Global Income Trust, Inc. (the “Company” or “Hines Global”) held its annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). At the Annual Meeting, the Company’s stockholders (1) elected each of the five nominees listed below to serve as directors for a one year term ending on the date of the 2021 annual meeting of stockholders, provided that each director will continue in office until his successor has been duly elected and qualifies, or until the earlier of his death, removal, resignation or retirement, and (2) ratified the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP, the member firms of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited, and their respective affiliates (collectively “Deloitte & Touche”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020.

The voting results for each of the five persons nominated to serve as directors are as follows:
ForAgainstAuthority Withheld or Abstained from Voting
Jeffrey C. Hines27,915,852 —746,399 
David L. Steinbach27,933,929 —728,322 
Humberto “Burt” Cabañas27,909,349 —752,902 
Dougal A. Cameron27,894,988 —767,263 
John O. Niemann, Jr.27,893,080 —769,171 

In addition to the voting described above, there were 20,251,512 broker non-votes with respect to the election of the five persons nominated to serve as directors. Broker non-votes are counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum. A broker non-vote occurs when a broker holding shares of the Company’s common stock for a beneficial owner is present at the meeting, in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote, but does not vote on a particular proposal because the broker does not have discretionary voting power with respect to that item and has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner. A broker non-vote is not an indication of how the beneficial owner would have voted; it simply means that the beneficial owner did not instruct the broker as to how to vote his or her shares.

With respect to the proposal to ratify the selection of Deloitte & Touche as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020, stockholders holding 48,026,454 shares voted in favor of the proposal, stockholders holding 285,540 shares voted against the proposal and stockholders holding 601,769 shares abstained from voting on the proposal. There were no broker non-votes with respect to this proposal because the brokers had discretionary voting power with respect to this proposal.
