On June 21, 2023, Tracy Gardner notified the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Crocs, Inc. (the “Company”) of her resignation as a member of the Board for personal reasons, effective immediately. Ms. Gardner’s decision to resign was not a result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter related to the Company’s operations, policies, or practices.
Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
On June 20, 2023, the Company held its 2023 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) as a virtual meeting online via live audio webcast. The results of the matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders at the Annual Meeting were as follows:
(a) The nominees for election as Class III directors to serve until the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders or until their successors are duly elected and qualified, were elected based on the following votes:
| Name of Nominee | Votes For | Votes Withheld | Broker Non-Votes | |||||||||||||||||
| Thomas J. Smach | 43,510,003 | 3,490,056 | 5,162,775 | |||||||||||||||||
| Beth J. Kaplan | 45,452,086 | 1,547,973 | 5,162,775 | |||||||||||||||||
(b) The proposal to ratify the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2023 was approved based on the following votes:
| Votes For | Votes Against | Votes Abstaining | ||||||||||||
| 51,645,261 | 484,588 | 32,985 | ||||||||||||
(c) The proposal regarding the advisory vote to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers was approved based on the following votes:
| Votes For | Votes Against | Votes Abstaining | Broker Non-Votes | |||||||||||||||||
| 45,369,559 | 1,571,430 | 59,070 | 5,162,775 | |||||||||||||||||
(d) A frequency of every year for future advisory votes to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers was approved based on the following votes:
| Votes For 1 Year | Votes For 2 Years | Votes For 3 Years | Votes Abstaining | Broker Non-Votes | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| 46,090,263 | 24,371 | 816,390 | 69,035 | 5,162,775 | ||||||||||||||||||||||
As indicated above, over 98% of the votes cast by stockholders were voted, on an advisory basis, in favor of holding an advisory vote to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers every year, which was the voting frequency option that received the highest number of votes cast. In light of these results, the Board has determined to hold an advisory vote to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers every year until the next required advisory vote on the frequency of future advisory votes to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers or until the Board otherwise determines that a different frequency for such advisory votes is in the best interests of the stockholders of the Company.
