Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
Axos Financial, Inc. (the “Company”) held its annual meeting of stockholders on November 9, 2023 (the “Annual Meeting”). As of September 12, 2023, the record date for the Annual Meeting, 59,066,235 shares of the Company’s common stock were eligible to vote. There were a total of 52,183,787 shares present at the Annual Meeting (88.35% of the eligible shares to vote), constituting a quorum.
Set forth below are the final vote tabulations for each of the matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders, including the votes for and against, and any abstentions or broker non-votes.
The first proposal was the election of the following Class I directors with terms expiring in 2026: Tamara N. Bohlig, Nicholas A. Mosich, and Edward J. Ratinoff.
| For | Withheld | Broker Non-Votes | |||||||||
| Tamara N. Bohlig | 30,628,593 | 14,882,395 | 6,672,799 | ||||||||
| Nicholas A. Mosich | 30,033,019 | 15,477,969 | 6,672,799 | ||||||||
| Edward J. Ratinoff | 26,870,848 | 18,640,140 | 6,672,799 | ||||||||
The second proposal was to approve in a non-binding and advisory vote, the compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers for fiscal year 2023 as disclosed in the Company’s proxy statement.
| For | Against | Abstain | Broker Non-Votes | ||||||||
| 24,553,820 | 20,898,266 | 58,902 | 6,672,799 | ||||||||
The third proposal was to recommend, in a non-binding and advisory vote, whether future non-binding and advisory stockholder votes on executive compensation should occur every year, every two years, or every three years.
| Every Year | Every Two Years | Every Three Years | Abstain | Broker Non-Votes | ||||||||||
| 37,616,634 | 345,436 | 7,520,866 | 28,052 | 6,672,799 | ||||||||||
With respect to the frequency of holding future advisory votes to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, considering the strong support for an annual advisory vote as reflected in the voting results and the Company’s past practice of holding annual advisory votes, the Company has determined that it will continue to hold advisory votes to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers annually until the matter is again submitted to the Company’s stockholders for a vote.
The fourth proposal was to approve the Amended and Restated 2014 Stock Incentive Plan.
