Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

 

At the Company’s December 30, 2015 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, the Company’s shareholders elected all board of directors except one for a one year term. That director will received less than a majority and will serve until a new Director is appointed by the Board. The new director will then serve until ratified at the next meeting of the shareholders.

 

In addition, the shareholders ratified the selection of Weinberg & Company, P. A. as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2016 and Reed’s 2015 Incentive and Non-statutory Stock Option Plan. The Company’s shareholders turned down a shareholder proposal entitled “Majority Voting for Directors”.

 

Of the 13,147,815 shares of common stock outstanding on the record date of October 27, 2015, a total of 11,774,962 shares were voted in person or by proxy, representing 89.55% of the votes entitled to be cast, constituting a majority and therefore more than a quorum of the outstanding shares entitled to vote. Votes were cast as follows:
