Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
On February 24, 2015, PennantPark Investment Corporation (the “Company”) held a reconvened annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) and submitted one matter to the vote of stockholders. The proposal is described in detail in the Company’s definitive joint proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 26, 2014. As of December 1, 2014, the record date, 75,092,911 shares of common stock were eligible to vote. A summary of the matter voted upon by the stockholders is set forth below.
Proposal 1. Due to the absence of the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock, the named proxies for the Company’s stockholders approved an adjournment of the Annual Meeting to allow the polls to remain open until 9:30 a.m. on March 17, 2015 to solicit additional votes for the proposal to elect two Class II directors of the Company, each of whom will serve until the 2018 Annual Meeting or until his successor is duly elected and qualifies. The Annual Meeting will be reconvened at the offices of Dechert LLP, located at 1095 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York, on March 17, 2015, at 9:30 a.m.
