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

On December 5, 2016, the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of New Concept Energy, Inc. ("NCE" or the "Issuer" or the "Registrant") was called to be held following a solicitation of proxies, pursuant to a Notice of Annual Meeting and related Proxy Statement, each dated November 3, 2016, distributed in accordance with the requirements of Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. On the record date of October 31, 2016, a total of 1,946,935 shares of Common Stock and 559 shares of Series B Preferred Stock was outstanding, with each share entitled to cast one vote. On December 5, 2016, after the call to order, it was determined that fewer than the requisite properly executed and valid proxies to establish a quorum had been received prior to the meeting. The Chair of the meeting recessed the Annual Meeting until December 28, 2016, at 10:30 a.m. in order to allow further solicitation of proxies to at least achieve a necessary quorum, which is the presence in person or proxy of stockholders entitled to cast at least 973,747 votes. During the recess, management and members of the Board of Directors of the Issuer sought to obtain additional proxies covering, in number, at least the quorum.

At the reconvened meeting at 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday, December 28, 2016, proxies representing 1,279,285 shares appeared and were cast, thereby establishing a quorum present in person or by proxy. It was noted that, of the outstanding shares, 1,923,734 shares are held in CEDE accounts.

At the Annual Meeting, which involved the election of directors, the following named persons received the number of votes cast for, against or withheld, as well as the number of abstentions (broker non-votes were not reported):

All of the nominees named above, each of which is currently a director of the Registrant, were elected at such Annual Meeting.

The only other matter presented at the Annual Meeting was the ratification of the appointment of Swalm & Associates, PC as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Registrant for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016, and any interim period. A total of 1,254,711 votes were cast FOR, 9,451 votes were cast AGAINST, and 15,123 votes ABSTAINED from voting with respect to such proposal. There were no broker non-votes.

The Annual Meeting of the Board of Directors was held later on the same day, December 28, 2016. At such meeting, Gene S. Bertcher was reelected Chairman of the Board, President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Registrant.
