Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
 
On March 9, 2017, B/E Aerospace, Inc. (the “Company”) held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”), at the Hilton Palm Beach Airport in West Palm Beach, Florida, to consider and vote upon (i) a proposal to adopt the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 23, 2016, by and among Rockwell Collins, Inc., Quarterback Merger Sub Corp. and the Company, as amended from time to time (the “Merger Agreement”), (the “Merger Proposal”), (ii) an advisory (non-binding) proposal to approve the compensation that may be paid or become payable to the Company’s named executive officers that is based on or otherwise related to the proposed transactions (the “Merger-Related Compensation Proposal”), and (iii) a proposal to approve the adjournment of the Special Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies in the event there are not sufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to approve the Merger Proposal (the “Adjournment Proposal”).
 
At the Special Meeting, holders of 81,246,648 shares of Company common stock, which represents approximately 80.03% of the shares of Company common stock outstanding and entitled to vote as of the record date of January 18, 2017, were represented in person or by proxy, and thus, a quorum was present in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Company’s bylaws.
 
The final voting results for each proposal, each of which is described in greater detail in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 3, 2017, follow below:
