Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
As previously reported, more than a majority of the shares voting at the annual shareholder’s meeting of Ramco-Gershenson Properties Trust (the “Company”) held on June 1, 2011, on Proposal 4 (Advisory Approval as to the Frequency of having an Advisory Vote on the Compensation of Named Executive Officers) voted for the Company to hold such votes on an annual basis. In view of the voting results and other factors, the Board of Trustees of the Company determined at its meeting on June 1, 2011, that the Company will hold advisory say-on-pay votes on an annual basis until the next required non-binding advisory vote on the frequency of shareholder votes on executive compensation. The next required non-binding advisory vote regarding the frequency interval will be in six years, although an earlier vote regarding such frequency interval may be held at the Trustees’ discretion.
