On June 7, 2012, The Corporate Executive Board Company (the “Company”) held its Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”), at which four proposals were presented to the Company’s stockholders for consideration. The four matters presented for consideration were: (1) election of eight directors to hold office until the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders or until their successors are named and qualified; (2) ratification of the retention of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2012; (3) adoption of the Company’s 2012 stock incentive plan; and (4) approval, in an advisory vote, of the compensation of the named executive officers as disclosed by the Company. These proposals were described in detail in the Company’s definitive Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on April 27, 2012. At the Annual Meeting, a total of 30,647,661 shares, or 92%, of our common stock issued and outstanding as of the record date of April 13, 2012, was represented by proxy or in person.
