Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
On June 28, 2024, the Company held its 2024 annual meeting (the “Annual Meeting”) of stockholders (the “Stockholders”) virtually. The matters submitted to the Stockholders for a vote at the Annual Meeting were set forth in the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule DEF 14A, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 30, 2024 (the “Proxy Statement”) and distributed to the Stockholders. Stockholders representing 23,005,127 or 87.61% of the shares of the Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote as of the record date, May 24, 2024, were represented virtually at the meeting either in person or by proxy.
The matters proposed to the Stockholders for a vote were: (i) the election of each of John R. Loftus, Jim R. Ruth, Alexandra C. Griffin, Allison M. DeStefano and Richard D. Schepp as members of the Company’s Board of Directors; (ii) the ratification of the Company’s appointment of Whitley Penn LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024; and (iii) to adjourn the Annual Meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies in favor of proposals one and two.
The final voting results of the Annual Meeting are set forth below.
