Item 5.07. | Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders. |
Alcentra Capital Corporation (the “Company”) held its 2017 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) on June 15, 2017. At the Annual Meeting, the Company submitted two proposals to the vote of the shareholders which are described in more detail in the Company’s proxy statement dated April 27, 2017. As of May 8, 2017, the record date for the Annual Meeting, 13,437,059 shares of the Company’s common stock were outstanding and entitled to vote.
On June 15, 2017, the following proposals were submitted to the vote of the shareholders:
(1) | the proposal to elect two directors of the Company; and |
(2) | the proposal to ratify the appointment of KPMG LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017. |
Of the shares eligible to be voted, 9,901,975 were submitted in connection with these proposals.
A summary of the matters voted upon by shareholders is set forth below:
Proposal 1. | The Company’s shareholders elected Paul J. Echausse, to serve for a term of three years, or until his successor is duly elected and qualified. |
For | Withheld | Broker Non-Votes | |||||
5,058,686 | 70,206 | 4,773,083 | |||||
The Company’s shareholders elected Steven H. Reiff, to serve for a term of three years, or until his successor is duly elected and qualified. |

A third proposal included in the Company’s proxy statement was to vote to approve the adjournment of the Annual Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies. Because Proposals 1 and 2 received sufficient votes and the Company did not need to solicit additional proxies and therefore the Company’s shareholders did not need to vote on the third proposal.
