Item 5.07                      Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
 
On June 20, 2012, Qualstar Corporation (the “Company”) held a special meeting of shareholders with respect to the matters set forth below. On June 25, 2012, IVS Associates, Inc., the independent inspector of elections for the special meeting, delivered preliminary voting results. These results are only preliminary and are subject to change.
 
Proposal 1  — The proposal to remove all current members of the Company’s Board of Directors.  The preliminary voting results are as follows:

FOR:  5,775,240
AGAINST:  5,260,771
ABSTAIN:  14

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the 12,253,117 shares outstanding and entitled to vote at the special meeting, or 6,126,559 shares, is required to approve proposal 1.  Based on the preliminary voting results (and subject to change based on the final voting results), proposal 1 was not approved.
 
Proposal 2  — The proposal to approve a resolution to fix the authorized number of directors of the Company at five directors.  The preliminary voting results are as follows:

FOR:  5,975,280
AGAINST:  4,007,541
ABSTAIN:  835,511

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares represented at the special meeting and entitled to vote is required to approve proposal 2.  Based on the preliminary voting results (and subject to change based on the final voting results), proposal 2 was approved.
 
Proposal 3  — The proposal to elect five persons nominated by BKF Capital Group, Inc. to fill any vacancies created on the Company’s Board of Directors if proposal 1 is approved. The preliminary voting results are as follows:

Proposal 3 requires, with respect to each nominee, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares represented at the special meeting and entitled to vote.  However, proposal 3 will have no effect if proposal 1 is not approved.
 
The preliminary voting results disclosed above are not final. The Company will file an amendment to this Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose the final voting results of the special meeting following certification by the inspector of elections.
