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

On May 16, 2011, Franklin Street Properties Corp. (the “Company”) held its 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2011 Annual Meeting”). The 2011 Annual Meeting was called for the following purposes: (1) to elect two Class III directors to serve until the 2014 annual meeting, (2) to ratify the Audit Committee’s appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011, (3) to approve, by non-binding vote, executive compensation, (4) to recommend, by non-binding vote, the frequency of future executive compensation votes and (5) to consider and act upon a stockholder proposal concerning the annual election of directors, if properly presented.

(1) The following table sets forth the names of the directors elected at the 2011 Annual Meeting for new three-year terms and the final number of votes cast for and withheld from each director.

(2) The proposal to ratify the Audit Committee’s appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011 was approved. The final number of votes cast for or against or abstaining from voting on that proposal are listed below.

(3) The proposal to approve, by non-binding vote, executive compensation was also approved. The final number of votes cast for or against or abstaining from voting on that proposal are listed below.

(4) The stockholders recommended, in a non-binding, advisory vote, that future votes on the compensation of the Company’s executive officers be held every year. The final number of votes cast for “1 YEAR”, “2 YEARS”, “3 YEARS” or abstaining from voting on that proposal are listed below.

After taking into consideration the foregoing voting results and the prior recommendation of the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) in favor of an annual advisory shareholder vote on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, the Board intends to hold future advisory votes on the compensation of the Company’s executive officers every year.

(5) A stockholder’s proposal that the Board take the steps necessary to eliminate the classification of the Board and to require that all directors be required to stand for election annually was approved by our stockholders. This proposal is not binding on the Company or the Board. Under Maryland law and the Company’s articles of incorporation, an amendment repealing the classified board provision in the articles of incorporation must first be approved by the majority of the directors and then approved at a subsequent stockholder meeting by the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than 80% of the shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote. The final number of votes cast for or against or abstaining from voting on the stockholder’s proposal are listed below.
