Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
On July 9, 2014, Phillips Edison – ARC Shopping Center REIT Inc. (the “Company”) held its annual meeting of stockholders at 222 S. Main Street, Suite 1730, Salt Lake City, Utah 84101. 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) three proposals to amend the Company's charter. The Company did not hold a vote on the last proposal presented in its proxy materials as it was not necessary to adjourn the annual meeting to solicit additional proxies in favor of the proposals to amend the Company's charter.
The nominees submitted for election as directors were Jeffrey S. Edison, William M. Kahane, Leslie T. Chao, Paul J. Massey, Jr., and Stephen R. Quazzo. 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 |
Jeffrey S. Edison | 97,595,154 | 3,103,967 |
William M. Kahane | 97,532,933 | 3,166,188 |
Leslie T. Chao | 97,564,215 | 3,134,906 |
Paul J. Massey, Jr. | 97,623,085 | 3,076,036 |
Stephen R. Quazzo | 97,592,868 | 3,106,253 |
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 three proposals to amend the Company's charter (the proposals below are described in detail in the proxy statement related to the annual meeting of stockholders):

Approve an amendment of the Company's charter to add language to specify that the charter provision regarding the requirements of tender offers will only apply until the Company lists its shares on a national securities exchange | 93,945,023 | 1,792,817 | 4,961,281 |
