Item 5.07 - Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
Our 2021 annual meeting of shareholders was held on June 24, 2021. At the meeting our shareholders elected seven directors to serve until the next annual meeting of shareholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified. Our shareholders also ratified the Board of Directors’ selection of OUM & Co. LLP as our independent registered public accountants to audit our financial statements for the current fiscal year; approved an amendment of our Articles of Incorporation to increase the authorized number of shares of common stock, no par value, that we may issue from 150,000,000 shares to 230,000,000 shares (the “Common Stock Amendment”); approved an amendment of our Articles of Incorporation to change our corporate name from OncoCyte Corporation to Oncocyte Corporation (the “Name Change Amendment”); and approved an amendment to our 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) to make an additional 10,000,000 shares of common stock available for equity awards (the “Incentive Plan Amendment”).
There were 89,833,751 shares of Oncocyte common stock outstanding and eligible to vote at the annual meeting as of the close of business on May 10, 2021, the record date for determining shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting.

The following tables show the votes cast by our shareholders and any abstentions with respect to the matters presented to shareholders for a vote at the meeting. Information is also provided as to broker non-votes. A “broker non-vote” occurs when a shareholder whose shares are held in “street name” in a brokerage account or similar account does not instruct the shareholder’s broker or other nominee in whose name the shares are registered how to vote on a matter as to which brokers and nominees are not permitted to vote without instructions from their client.
