On June 13, 2016, CEB Inc. (the “Company”) held its Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”), at which three proposals were presented to the Company’s stockholders for consideration. The three matters presented for consideration were: (1) election of nine directors to hold office until the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders or until their successors are named and qualified; (2) ratification of the retention of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2016; and (3) approval, in an advisory vote, of the compensation of the named executive officers as disclosed by the Company. These proposals were described in detail in the Company’s definitive Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on April 29, 2016. At the Annual Meeting, a total of 30,593,783 shares were present in person or represented at the meeting by proxy, constituting more than a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote and a quorum.
