On June 2, 2020, Urban Outfitters, Inc. (the “Company”) held its Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”). At the Annual Meeting, the Company’s shareholders (i) elected each of the Company’s nine nominees for director to serve a term expiring at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders in 2021, (ii) ratified the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2021 and (iii) approved, in an advisory, non-binding vote, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers. The results of the voting on the proposals presented at the Annual Meeting were as follows:

1. Proposal No. 1: Election of Directors.

2. Proposal No. 2: Ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for Fiscal Year 2021.

3. Proposal No. 3: Advisory, non-binding vote to approve executive compensation.

Board Committees

Following the Annual Meeting, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) reconstituted the membership of its Audit Committee, decreasing membership from four to three and electing Mr. McDonald as Chair to replace the vacancy created as a result of a Board member not standing for reelection. The following table reflects the new Board positions:

Board Approval of Changes to Director Compensation

Following the Annual Meeting, in light of the unprecedented impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the Board decided to forego cash compensation payable to non-Employee Directors from the 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders through the 2021 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Separately, based on the advice of the Company’s compensation consultant, the Board elected to compensate its non-Employee Directors with restricted stock units (“RSUs”) in place of options. Accordingly, on June 2, 2020, the Board granted to each non-Employee Director a number of RSUs equivalent to $150,000, divided by the closing price of the Company’s common shares on June 2, 2020, rounded to the nearest 100 shares, for service to the Company during fiscal year 2021.
