A total of 37,953,578 shares, or 90.95%, of the common stock issued and outstanding as of the record date of March 21, 2011, was represented by proxy or in person at the annual meeting of stockholders of FTI Consulting, Inc. (the “Company”) held on June 1, 2011 (the “Annual Meeting”). The proposals below were described in detail in the proxy statement for the Annual Meeting dated April 18, 2011 (the “Proxy Statement”). At the Annual Meeting, stockholders approved Proposal 2 to amend the Charter of the Company to declassify the Board of Directors as contemplated in Articles of Amendment of the Company (the “Articles of Amendment”). Following approval of the amendment to the Company’s Charter and the filing and acceptance of the Articles of Amendment with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland on June 1, 2011, the stockholders elected Mark H. Berey, Jack B. Dunn, IV and Gerard E. Holthaus as directors of the Company, to hold office for one year until the 2012 annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors are elected and qualify. The stockholders also (i) approved the 2011 FTI Consulting, Inc.
