Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
Proposals Submitted to Shareholders at 2012 Annual Meeting
Roberts Realty Investors, Inc. held its annual meeting of shareholders on December 10, 2012. We asked our shareholders to vote on the following two proposals:
· to elect two directors to serve a three-year term; and
· to ratify the appointment of CohnReznick LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2012.
As a smaller reporting company under applicable SEC rules, we are not yet required to conduct shareholder votes on say-on-pay and frequency-of-say-on-pay. We solicited proxies for the meeting pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and there was no solicitation in opposition to managements solicitations.
Election of Directors
Two of our current directors, Mr. Charles S. Roberts and Mr. Charles R. Elliott, were nominated for reelection at the meeting. Each of Mr. Roberts and Mr. Elliott was elected with the following votes to serve until the 2015 annual meeting of shareholders or until his successor is duly elected and qualified. There were no abstentions.
