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

On June 17, 2015, Veeva held its Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). At the Annual Meeting, Veeva’s stockholders voted on four proposals, each of which is described in more detail in the Company’s definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 5, 2015.

Only stockholders of record as of the close of business on April 28, 2015, the record date for the Annual Meeting, were entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. As of the record date, 71,379,579 shares of Veeva’s Class A common stock and 60,254,799 shares of Veeva’s Class B common stock were outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. In deciding all matters at the Annual Meeting, each holder of Class A common stock of Veeva was entitled to one vote for each share of Class A common stock held as of the close of business on the record date, and each holder of Class B common stock of Veeva was entitled to ten votes for each share of Class B common stock held as of the close of business on the record date.

The tabulation of the stockholders votes on each proposal brought before the Annual Meeting is as follows:

Proposal 1: The election of two directors to serve as Class II directors until the 2018 annual meeting of stockholders and until his successor is duly elected and qualified:

 

Proposal 2: The ratification of the appointment of KMPG LLP as Veeva’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2016:

 

As a routine proposal under applicable rules, no broker non-votes were recorded in connection with this proposal.

Proposal 3: The approval on an advisory (i.e., non-binding) basis of Veeva’s named executive officer compensation:

 

Proposal 4: The approval on an advisory (i.e., non-binding) basis of the frequency of future stockholder advisory votes to approve Veeva’s named executive officer compensation:

 

In accordance with the recommendation of Veeva’s board of directors and the voting results of the stockholders of Veeva on this advisory proposal, Veeva’s board of directors has adopted a policy to hold tri-annual advisory votes on the compensation of Veeva’s named executive officers. The next required advisory vote on the frequency of approval of the compensation of Veeva’s named executive officers will take place no later than Veeva’s annual meeting of stockholders in 2021.
