| Item 5.07. | Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders |
On July 16, 2014, Resource Real Estate Opportunity REIT, Inc. (the “Company”) held its annual meeting of stockholders at 1845 Walnut Street, 18th Floor, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The matters submitted to the stockholders for a vote were (i) the election of five directors to hold office until the next annual meeting of the stockholders and until their successors are elected and qualified, and (ii) a proposal to amend and restate the Company’s charter.
The nominees submitted for election as directors were Jonathan Z. Cohen, Alan F. Feldman, Gary Lichtenstein, Lee F. Shlifer, and Andrew Ceitlin. The number of votes cast for and the number of votes withheld for each of the director nominees were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
Name | | Votes For | | | Votes Withheld | |
Jonathan Z. Cohen | | | 32,513,947.62 | | | | 1,799,188.16 | |
Alan F. Feldman | | | 32,509,011.10 | | | | 1,804,124.68 | |
Gary Lichtenstein | | | 32,392,049.66 | | | | 1,921,086.11 | |
Lee F. Shlifer | | | 32,492,473.36 | | | | 1,820,662.42 | |
Andrew Ceitlin | | | 32,529,537.01 | | | | 1,783,598.77 | |
All of the nominees were elected to serve as directors until the next annual meeting of the stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified.
The following are the voting results with respect to the proposal to amend and restate the Company’s charter (the proposal below is described in detail in the proxy statement related to the annual meeting of stockholders):
| | | | |
Votes For | | Votes Against | | Abstain |
| 31,480,784.21 | | 609,287.71 | | 2,223,063.86 |
The Company’s stockholders did not approve the proposed amendment and restatement of the Company’s charter. Although a majority of the shares that were present to vote at the annual meeting voted to approve the amended and restated charter, the proposal did not pass because it did not receive an affirmative vote from a majority of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock.
