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

On April 27, 2017, the Company held its 2017 annual meeting of shareholders.  As of the record date for the Annual Meeting, there were 22,642,046 shares of Common Stock outstanding and entitled to one vote on each matter presented for vote at the Annual Meeting.  At the Annual Meeting, 19,440,053 or 85.85% of the outstanding common shares entitled to vote were represented in person or by proxy.  Those shares were voted as follows:

1.        The following individuals were nominated in 2017 to serve as directors until the next annual meeting of shareholders in 2018.  All nominees were elected.  The results were as follows:

2.        Ratification of KPMG LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company for the year ending December 31, 2017:

3.        Proposal to approve a non-binding resolution to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers.

4.        Advisory vote on the frequency of future advisory votes approving the compensation of Stock Yards Bancorp’s named executive officers.

In light of the voting results from the annual meeting regarding shareholders' preference for how often the Company will hold future advisory votes on executive compensation,  the Company's Board of Directors has decided that the Company will hold an annual advisory vote on the compensation of named executive officers until the next vote on the frequency of shareholder votes on such compensation. This is the same frequency as had been recommended by the Board of Directors in connection with the submission of this item for shareholder vote at the annual meeting. The Company is required to hold votes on frequency every six years.
