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

At the 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) held on September 12, 2023 (the “Annual Meeting”), the shareholders of the Company approved five proposals, a description of which may be found in the Company’s definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 21, 2023. Of the 19,823,955 shares of voting stock outstanding and entitled to vote as of the record date, 11,156,823 shares were represented at the Annual Meeting, which constituted a quorum. The final voting results of the give proposals are set forth below.

1. Election of Class III Director. The Company’s shareholders elected Dr. Halden S. Shane to serve on the Board of Directors (the “Board”) for a three-year term that will expire at the Company’s 2026 annual meeting of shareholders or at such time as his successor has been duly elected and qualified or his earlier resignation or removal. The results of the voting were as follows:

	For		Withhold

Halden S. Shane		11,015,305		141,518

2. Ratification of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. The Company’s shareholders ratified the appointment of Rosenberg Rich Baker Berman & Co. as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023. The results of the voting were as follows:

For		Against		Abstain

	11,111,667		44,373		783

3. Authorization of the Board to amend the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split. The Company’s shareholders approved a proposal to authorize the Board, in its discretion, to amend the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended, to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, at a ratio in the range of 1-for-3, if the Board determines it is necessary to regain compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price continued listing requirement of The Nasdaq Capital Market. The results of the voting were as follows:

For		Against		Abstain

	9,578,549		1,350,424		227,850

The Company’s primary objective for requesting the authority to effect a reverse stock split was to regain compliance with the minimum $1.00 bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Bid Price Rule”). On August 28, 2023, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq indicating that the Company has regained compliance with the Bid Price Rule based on the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock having been at $1.00 per share or greater for 10 consecutive business days and that the matter is now closed. Accordingly, the Company does not intend to effect any reverse stock split in the foreseeable future.

4. Approval, on an advisory basis, of compensation of the Company’s named executive officers. The Company’s shareholders provided, on an advisory basis, approval of the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers. The results of the voting were as follows:

For		Against		Abstain

	10,570,553		431,088		155,182

5. Recommendation, on an advisory basis, regarding the frequency of future advisory votes on named executive officer compensation. The Company’s shareholders provided, on an advisory basis, a recommendation regarding the frequency of future advisory votes on named executive officer compensation. The results of the voting were as follows:

Three Years		Two Years		One Year		Abstain

	8,728,890		82,607		2,265,672		79,654

In light of the foregoing advisory voting results and other factors, the Company’s Board determined that the Company will hold an advisory vote for its named executive officer compensation once every three years.
