Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
The 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2018 Annual Meeting”) of TSR, Inc. (the “Company”) was held on October 22, 2019. The background of the 2018 Annual Meeting is described in the Company’s definitive proxy statement in connection with the 2018 Annual Meeting (the “Definitive Proxy Statement”), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 1, 2019.
The following matters were submitted to the stockholders of the Company at the 2018 Annual Meeting for their approval:
Election of Directors
The stockholders of the Company elected H. Timothy Eriksen and Bradley M. Tirpak to serve as Class I Directors of the Company for three-year terms.
As previously disclosed by the Company, on August 30, 2019, the Company entered into a Settlement and Release Agreement and a Share Repurchase Agreement with certain investor parties related to a proxy contest and certain pending litigation matters involving the Company and such investor parties. Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement and Release Agreement, and as described in the Definitive Proxy Statement, the Company had agreed to solicit proxies for two alternative slates of two Class I directors for election at the 2018 Annual Meeting: one slate consisted of two directors nominated by the Company, who were Ira D. Cohen and Raymond A. Roel, and one slate consisted of two nominees selected by Zeff Capital, L.P., who were H. Timothy Eriksen and Bradley M. Tirpak. Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement and Release Agreement and the Share Repurchase Agreement, and as more fully described in the Company’s current report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 21, 2019, the Company had withdrawn its slate of nominees for director from consideration at the 2018 Annual Meeting, inasmuch as the Company did not complete the repurchase or make the settlement payment contemplated in the Settlement and Release Agreement and Share Repurchase Agreement prior to the 2018 Annual Meeting. As a result, the slate of nominees selected by Zeff Capital, L.P. was the only slate of nominees that stood for election as directors at the 2018 Annual Meeting, and any vote received by the Company in favor of the election of the Company’s slate of nominees was treated as a vote in favor of the nominees selected by Zeff Capital, L.P.
The balloting for the election was as follows:
Name | | Votes For | | | Votes Withheld | | | Abstentions | | | Broker Non-Votes | |
H. Timothy Eriksen | | | 1,228,348 | | | | 147,102 | | | | - | | | | 16,190 | |
Bradley M. Tirpak | | | 1,226,728 | | | | 148,722 | | | | - | | | | 16,190 | |
Ratification of the appointment of the Company’s independent registered public accountants
The stockholders of the Company voted to ratify the appointment by the Company’s Board of Directors of CohnReznick LLP as the independent registered public accountants of the Company, to examine and report upon the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2019. Balloting for this vote was as follows:
Votes For | | | Votes Against | | | Abstentions | | | Broker Non-Votes | |
| 1,248,180 | | | | 140,397 | | | | 3,063 | | | | - | |
