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

At the 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of Schmitt Industries, Inc. (the “Company”), held on December 10, 2020, the shareholders of the Company elected Steven Strom and Lillian Tung as directors of the Company. As the Company’s shareholders did not approve the amendment of the Company’s Second Restated Articles of Incorporation to declassify the Company’s board of directors, each elected director will serve a three-year term, until the 2023 annual meeting of the Company and until their successors are duly elected and qualified. The shareholders also (i) approved, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s executive officers and (ii) ratified the selection of Moss Adams LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2021.

At the Annual Meeting, 3,272,851 shares of common stock, which represented 87.17% percent of the 3,754,145 total shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, were present in person or by proxy which constituted a quorum.

The final votes for each proposal presented to the Company’s shareholders at the Annual Meeting were as follows:

Election of Directors.
