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

Steel Dynamics, Inc. held its Annual Meeting of Stockholders on May 19, 2011. Of the 218,278,754 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of the record date on March 21, 2011, 187,146,537 shares were present, in person or by proxy, thus constituting a quorum of 85.73% of the total shares outstanding and entitled to vote. At the meeting, stockholders elected all eleven of the directors nominated by the Board of Directors; ratified the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as Steel Dynamics, Inc.’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2011; and approved, by an advisory vote, executive compensation for 2010.  In addition, the board of directors recommended and stockholders selected, by an advisory vote, to have future advisory votes on executive compensation on an annual basis.  In light of such vote and consistent with the recommendation of the company’s Board of Directors, the company will include an advisory shareholder vote on the annual compensation of executives each year, beginning with its  2012 proxy materials.  The company will continue this practice until it’s time for the stockholders to again vote on the frequency of such votes, at which time it will consider the results of that advisory vote.

Set forth below is the final share voting results for each of the proposals.

(1)          Election of eleven (11) director nominees for a one-year term.

(2)          Proposal to ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as Steel Dynamics, Inc.’s independent registered accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011.

(3)          Proposal to approve, by an advisory vote, executive compensation for 2010.

(4)          Proposal to recommend, by an advisory vote, the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation.

(5)          Regarding the Proposal to give the company’s proxies discretion to vote on any other matters that might come before the meeting, the Proposal failed to get a majority, with 67,381,671 shares voting “FOR,” 116,401,044 shares voting “AGAINST” and 3,363,822 shares ABSTAINING.
