(“Springleaf”) held its 2015 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) to consider and vote upon the election of two Class II directors and certain other matters, as set forth below. As of March 25, 2015, the record date for the Annual Meeting, 115,064,570 shares of Springleaf common stock were outstanding and eligible to vote. A quorum of 110,031,233 shares of Springleaf common stock was present at the Annual Meeting. The following proposals were voted upon by stockholders at the Annual Meeting:
1. | Election of two Class II Directors to hold office until the 2018 annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified. The voting results were as follows: |
Total Votes for Each Director | Total Votes Withheld from Each Director | Broker Non-Votes* | ||
Douglas L. Jacobs | 106,971,765 | 1,868,440 | 1,191,028 | |
Anahaita N. Kotval | 108,170,534 | 669,671 | 1,191,028 | |
2. | Ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as Springleaf’s independent registered public accounting firm for the 2015 fiscal year. The voting results were as follows: |
For | Against | Abstentions | Broker Non-Votes* | |
109,983,795 | 7,425 | 40,013 | N/A | |
* Broker non-votes represent shares held by broker nominees for beneficial owners that were not voted with respect to a non-routine proposal because the broker nominee did not receive voting instructions from the beneficial owner and lacked discretionary authority to vote the shares. If a broker does not receive voting instructions from the beneficial owner, a broker may vote on routine matters but may not vote on non-routine matters. Broker non-votes are counted for the purpose of determining the presence or absence of a quorum but are not counted for the purpose of determining the number of shares entitled to vote on non-routine matters such as an election of director.
