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

Carpenter Technology Corporation (the “Company”) previously reported the voting results from its 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) on a Form 8-K filed October 13, 2011. In connection with the Annual Meeting, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) had recommended that stockholders vote to hold future advisory votes to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers on an annual basis.

At the Annual Meeting, the Company’s stockholders expressed a preference that advisory votes to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers occur on an annual basis. In accordance with the results of this vote and consistent with its recommendation to stockholders, the Board determined to implement an annual advisory vote on executive compensation until the next required vote on the frequency of advisory votes to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, which is scheduled to occur at the 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
