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

The Annual Meeting of Shareowners (the “Annual Meeting”) of New Jersey Resources Corporation (“NJR”) was held on January 24, 2024. At the Annual Meeting, of the 97,786,738 shares outstanding and entitled to vote as of the record date, 85,223,530 shares were represented, constituting a quorum. The final results for each of the matters submitted to a vote of shareowners at the Annual Meeting were as follows:

Item 1: The Company’s shareowners elected the four directors nominated by the Board for election to the Board at the Annual Meeting. Donald L. Correll, James H. DeGraffenreidt, Jr., M. Susan Hardwick and Peter C. Harvey have each been re-elected for a three-year term expiring in 2027, and until their respective successors are elected and have been qualified, by the votes set forth in the table below:
