Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
A Special Meeting of Stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) and the 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of Rofin-Sinar Technologies Inc. (the "Company") were held on June 29, 2016, to vote on the proposals described in the Company’s definitive proxy statements in connection with the Special Meeting and the Annual Meeting, each filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 25, 2016.
Special Meeting
At the Special Meeting, stockholders approved (i) the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement, dated as of March 16, 2016, by and among the Company, Coherent, Inc. and Rembrandt Merger Sub Corp. (the “Merger Agreement”), and (ii) the proposal to approve, on a non-binding, advisory basis, certain compensation that will or may become payable to the Company’s named executive officers that is based on or otherwise relates to the merger (the “Merger-Related Named Executive Officer Compensation Proposal”).
A total of 22,087,061 shares (77.96% of 28,332,903 shares outstanding and entitled to vote as of May 12, 2016, the record date for the Special Meeting) present in person or by proxy, constituted a quorum for the transaction of business, and were voted at the Special Meeting. Set forth below are the final voting results for each of the proposals.
Proposal 1
Adoption of the Merger Agreement
For | Against | Abstain | Broker Non-Votes | |||||||
21,132,295 | 906,377 | 48,389 | — | |||||||
Proposal 2
Since there were sufficient votes cast at the Special Meeting to adopt the Merger Agreement, Proposal 2--to approve the adjournment of the Special Meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies, if necessary or appropriate, to adopt the Merger Agreement--was moot and therefore not presented or voted on at the Special Meeting.
Proposal 3
Merger-Related Named Executive Officer Compensation Proposal
For | Against | Abstain | Broker Non-Votes | |||||||
20,716,549 | 1,306,311 | 64,201 | — | |||||||
Annual Meeting
At the Annual Meeting, stockholders took the following actions: (i) elected three directors to serve for a term to expire in 2019 and until their respective successors have been duly elected or appointed, provided that if the Merger is completed, their term will expire at the effective time of the Merger; (ii) ratified the Audit Committee’s selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2016; and (iii) approved, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed in the proxy statement.
At the Annual Meeting, stockholders failed to approve four separate proposals to amend the Company’s certificate of incorporation in order to declassify the Company’s board of directors and provide for the annual election of directors (the “Board Declassification Proposal”), eliminate the supermajority voting requirements
(the “Supermajority Voting Elimination Proposal”), enable stockholders holding, in the aggregate, a net-long position in shares representing at least 25% of all outstanding shares the right to call a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting Proposal”), enable stockholder action by written consent (the “Stockholder Written Consent Proposal”).
A total of 23,728,320 shares (83.75% of 28,332,903 shares outstanding and entitled to vote as of May 12, 2016, the record date for the Annual Meeting) present in person or by proxy, constituted a quorum for the transaction of business, and were voted at the Annual Meeting.
