On June 22, 2017, the board of directors (the “Board”) of NorthStar Real Estate Income II, Inc. (“NorthStar Income II”) approved the renewal of the advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) by and among NorthStar Income II, NorthStar Real Estate Income Operating Partnership II, LP, NorthStar Income II’s operating partnership, CNI NSII Advisors, LLC (formerly NSAM J-NSII Ltd), NorthStar Income II’s advisor (the “Advisor”), and Colony NorthStar, Inc. (formerly NorthStar Asset Management Group Inc.), NorthStar Income II’s sponsor. The Advisory Agreement was renewed for an additional one-year term commencing on June 30, 2017 upon terms identical to those in effect through June 30, 2017. Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor will continue to perform day-to-day operational and administrative services for NorthStar Income II, including asset management services, acquisition services and stockholder services.
The foregoing description of the Advisory Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the Advisory Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 to NorthStar Income II’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 1, 2014, which agreement is incorporated by reference herein.
Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
(a) NorthStar Income II held its 2017 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Meeting”) on June 22, 2017. At the close of business on April 11, 2017, the record date for the Meeting, there were 114,572,789 shares of NorthStar Income II’s common stock outstanding and entitled to vote. Holders of 63,323,589 shares of common stock, representing a like number of votes, were present at the Meeting, either in person or by proxy.
(b) Matters voted upon by stockholders were as follows:
Proposal 1. At the Meeting, the following individuals were elected to the Board to serve until the 2018 annual meeting of stockholders and until his successor is duly elected and qualified, by the following vote:
Nominees | Votes For | Votes Withheld | ||||
Daniel R. Gilbert | 33,378,088 | 1,104,884 | ||||
Jonathan T. Albro | 33,403,007 | 1,079,965 | ||||
Justin P. Meagher | 33,430,619 | 1,052,353 | ||||
Chris S. Westfahl | 33,440,198 | 1,042,774 | ||||
Winston W. Wilson | 33,421,396 | 1,061,576 | ||||
NorthStar Income II received 28,840,617 broker non-votes for each of the five director nominees. Broker non-votes are counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum. A broker non-vote is a vote that is not cast on a non-routine matter because the shares entitled to cast the vote are held in street name, the broker lacks discretionary authority to vote the shares and the broker has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner. A broker non-vote is not an indication of how the beneficial owner would have voted; it simply means that the beneficial owner did not instruct the broker as to how to vote his or her shares and, in accordance with applicable rules, such broker non-votes had the same effect as a vote against that nominee.
