Item 5.07 | Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders. |
(a) On June 22, 2017, Mylan N.V. (“Mylan” or the “Company”) held its annual general meeting of shareholders (the “Annual General Meeting”) to (i) appoint two executive directors and nine non-executive directors, each for a term ending immediately after the next annual general meeting held after their appointment; (ii) adopt the Dutch annual accounts for fiscal year 2016; (iii) ratify the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2017; (iv) instruct Deloitte Accountants B.V. for the audit of the Company’s Dutch statutory annual accounts for fiscal year 2017; (v) approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the named executive officers of the Company (the “Say-on-Pay Vote”); (vi) vote, on an advisory basis, on the frequency of the Say-on-Pay Vote; and (vii) authorize Mylan’s Board of Directors (the “Mylan Board”) to acquire ordinary shares and preferred shares in the capital of the Company.
As of the close of business on May 25, 2017, the record date for the Annual General Meeting (the “Record Date”), there were issued and outstanding 536,001,148 ordinary shares of Mylan entitled to vote at the Annual General Meeting. As of the Record Date, there were no preferred shares of Mylan issued and outstanding. At least one-third of the issued Mylan shares were present or represented at the Annual General Meeting with respect to each proposal below, constituting a quorum for each such proposal.
(b) The certified results of the matters voted on at the Annual General Meeting are set forth below.
The Mylan Board respectfully acknowledges the votes of shareholders on the Say-on-Pay Vote, as well as in respect of the re-election of its board members. In response, the Mylan Board will engage in an extensive program of shareholder outreach over the coming months in order to elicit and understand the perspectives of Mylan’s shareholders. This outreach will be the first stage of a careful review that the Mylan Board will undertake going-forward in response to the vote.
Proposal No. 1 - Appointment of two executive directors and nine non-executive directors, each for a term ending immediately after the next annual general meeting held after their appointment:
