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

New Ulm Telecom, Inc.’s (“NU Telecom”) Annual Meeting of Shareholders was held on May 30, 2013. Proxies representing 3,329,659 shares, or 65.24% of the 5,103,918 outstanding shares entitled to vote were present at the Annual Meeting, which constituted a quorum. The shareholder voting results for the election of two directors, the ratification of the appointment of NU Telecom’s independent registered public accounting firm, the approval to amend and restate the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, the advisory vote to approve the Company’s executive compensation and the advisory vote on the frequency of future executive compensation advisory votes are presented as follows:

Proposal 1. The following two directors were elected to serve until the 2016 Annual Meeting and until the election and qualification of their respective successors, as follows:

Nominees	Votes For	Votes Against	Abstentions	Broker Non-Votes
James P. Jensen	2,665,156	33,806	130,278	500,419
Perry L. Meyer	2,678,594	20,381	130,265	500,419

Proposal 2. Shareholders ratified the appointment of Olsen, Thielen & Company, Ltd. as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the 2013 fiscal year, as follows:

Votes For	Votes Against	Abstentions
3,290,611	14,373	24,675

Proposal 3. Shareholders approved the proposal to amend and restate the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as follows:

Votes For	Votes Against	Abstentions	Broker Non-Votes
2,735,488	53,964	39,788		500,419

Proposal 4. Shareholders approved the Company’s executive compensation, as follows:

Votes For	Votes Against	Abstentions	Broker Non-Votes
2,220,076	296,247	312,917		500,419

Proposal 5. The shareholders voted on the frequency of future shareholder advisory votes on executive compensation, as follows:

1 Year	2 Years	3 Years	Abstentions		Broker Non-Votes
610,642	36,247	1,828,357		353,994	500,419

In light of the fact that 73.9% of the shareholders expressing a preference on Proposal 5 voted in favor of holding the advisory vote every three years, and that was the recommendation of the NU Telecom Board of Directors (“Board), on May 30, 2013, the Board decided NU Telecom will submit the shareholder advisory vote on executive compensation to its shareholders every three years.

In addition, the Board currently intends to seek a new shareholder advisory vote on the frequency of future shareholder advisory votes in three years or at the 2016 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, instead of holding the vote every six years.
