Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

On May 16, 2018, The ExOne Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), held its 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) in North Huntingdon, Pennsylvania. A total of 14,156,472 of the Company’s shares of Common Stock were present or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting, representing approximately 87.37% of the Company’s shares of Common Stock that were outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

The final results of the matters voted on at the Annual Meeting are provided below.

Proposal 1: The following individuals were elected as directors to hold office for a one-year term expiring at the 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

 

Director Name		For				Against				Abstained*				Broker Non- Votes*				Percentage of Votes Cast in Favor of Total Votes Cast
S. Kent Rockwell			8,132,745				262,834				12,925				5,747,968				96.87	%
John Irvin			8,111,651				283,761				13,092				5,747,968				96.62	%

Bonnie K. Wachtel			7,941,428				455,181				11,895				5,747,968				94.58	%

 

*	Abstentions and broker non-votes are not counted in determining the number of votes with respect to Proposal 1 and, therefore, did not affect the outcome of the voting on Proposal 1.

Proposal 2: Schneider Downs & Co., Inc. was ratified as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018.

 

For: 13,624,074

Against: 186,021

Abstained**: 346,377

Broker Non-Votes**: 0

Percentage of Votes Cast in Favor of Total Shares Represented at Meeting: 96.24%

 

**	Abstentions are counted towards the vote total for Proposal 2 and have the same effect as “Against” votes. Because broker non-votes are not deemed to be votes entitled to be cast, they did not affect the outcome of the voting on Proposal 2.
