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

The Company held the Annual Meeting on November 22, 2022. Of the 61,691,054 shares of common stock, no par value per share (“common stock”), outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, 54,691,772 shares of common stock, or 88.7%, were represented in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting. The results for each of the proposals submitted to a vote of the stockholders at the Annual Meeting are set forth below.

Proposal 1: Stockholders elected the nine director nominees named in the Proxy Statement, each for a term expiring at the next annual meeting of stockholders and until his or her respective successor is duly elected and qualified (or until any such director’s earlier death, resignation or removal).

(1) Broker non-votes represent shares held by broker nominees for beneficial owners that were not voted because the broker nominee did not receive voting instructions from the beneficial owner and lacked discretionary authority to vote the shares on a non-routine proposal.

Proposal 2: The proposal to ratify the appointment of Cherry Bekaert LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023 was approved.

There were no broker non-votes with respect to the ratification of the appointment of Cherry Bekaert LLP.
