Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

(a) The annual meeting of the stockholders of Ingredion Incorporated (the “Company”) was held on May 17, 2017. As of the record date of the meeting, 71,680,758 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding. At the meeting, holders of 63,075,713 shares (87.99% of the issued and outstanding shares) were present in person or represented by proxy, constituting a quorum.

(b) At the annual meeting, the Company’s stockholders (i) elected all of the Company’s nominees for election as director, (ii) approved the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, (iii) recommended that the advisory stockholder vote to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers occur every year and (iv) ratified the appointment by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors of the firm of KPMG LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company and its subsidiaries, in respect of the Company’s operations in 2017. Under the Company’s by-laws, in uncontested elections, directors are elected by a majority of the votes cast. In contested elections where the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected, directors are elected by a plurality vote. The vote of a majority of the shares present at the meeting in person or by proxy and entitled to vote is required to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers and to approve the ratification of the appointment of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. For the vote on whether to hold a stockholder vote to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers every one year, two years or three years, the alternative receiving the most votes cast is considered the stockholder recommendation with respect to the frequency of such votes. The number of votes cast for, against or withheld and the number of abstentions and broker non-votes as to each matter submitted to a vote of security holders were as follows:
