ITEM 5.07 SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
On May 20, 2020, Perficient, Inc. (the “Company”) held its 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The holders of 29,336,519 shares of Common Stock, or 88% of the outstanding shares entitled to vote as of the record date, were represented at the meeting in person or by proxy, which represented a quorum. At the meeting, the stockholders voted on the following three proposals and cast their votes as follows to approve such proposals:
Proposal 1: To elect the following six nominees to the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), each to serve on the Board until the next annual meeting of stockholders or until his successor has been elected and qualified:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Nominees | | Votes Cast For | | Votes Cast Against | | Abstentions | | Broker Non-Votes |
Jeffrey S. Davis | | 25,565,734 | | 1,881,211 | | 56,258 | | 1,833,316 |
Ralph C. Derrickson | | 19,629,633 | | 7,854,800 | | 18,770 | | 1,833,316 |
James R. Kackley | | 20,818,547 | | 6,678,271 | | 6,385 | | 1,833,316 |
David S. Lundeen | | 25,473,385 | | 2,023,433 | | 6,385 | | 1,833,316 |
Brian L. Matthews | | 11,313,442 | | 16,021,489 | | 168,272 | | 1,833,316 |
Gary M. Wimberly | | 27,291,116 | | 193,217 | | 18,870 | | 1,833,316 |
Proposal 2: To approve the advisory resolution relating to the 2019 executive compensation:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Votes Cast For | | Votes Cast Against | | Abstentions | | Broker Non-Votes |
24,010,348 | | 3,409,302 | | 83,553 | | 1,833,316 |
Proposal 3: To ratify the appointment of KPMG LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Votes Cast For | | Votes Cast Against | | Abstentions |
28,792,169 | | 410,327 | | 134,023 |
As noted above, Mr. Matthews did not receive the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast for election to the Board. This vote result is believed to be due in large part to a recommendation of a proxy advisory firm to vote against Mr. Matthews as Chairman of the Company’s Nominating & Governance Committee, a position that he has held since February 2020. As required by the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, as a result of the voting results, Mr. Matthews tendered his resignation to the Board. After consideration, the Board, consistent with the recommendation of the Company’s Nominating & Governance Committee, with Mr. Matthews recusing himself in each case, did not accept Mr. Matthews’ resignation. The Board’s decision was based, in part, on the Board’s determination that Mr. Matthews’ continued service on the Board was in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders including as a result of his qualifications to serve on the Board and his contributions to the Board to date along with the Board’s belief that the vote was not the result of the personal failings of Mr. Matthews.
