Section 14A and the rules promulgated thereunder require public companies to provide a separate shareholder vote regarding the frequency with which such say-on-pay votes should occur - every year, every two years or every three years - and the Form 8-K rules provide that registrants must disclose the number of votes cast for each of one year, two years and three years. As discussed in the Company's proxy statement for the annual meeting, however, registrants subject to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 ("ARRA") due to their participation in the TARP Capital Purchase Program, such as MidWestOne, are required to provide a say-on-pay vote at any annual meeting of shareholders for which proxies are solicited for the election of directors (or a special meeting in lieu of such annual meeting), and are therefore exempt from the requirement to provide shareholders with a frequency vote for so long as they remain subject to ARRA. Accordingly, at the annual meeting, shareholders did not vote on the frequency of future say-on-pay votes.
The ratification of the appointment of KPMG, LLP as independent registered public accounting firm of MidWestOne Financial Group, Inc. for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011.
