Item 5.07          Submission of Matters to a Vote of Securities Holders

A special meeting of stockholders (the “Meeting”) of Hamilton Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) was held on March 20, 2019.  The proposals listed below were submitted to a vote of the stockholders. The proposals are described in greater detail in the proxy statement/prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 15, 2019. Of the 3,416,039 shares of Company common stock outstanding and entitled to vote on the record date, 2,499,376 shares were present at the Meeting in person or by proxy.  The final results of the votes were as set forth below, and each proposal was approved by the requisite vote.

Proposal 1 – Approval of the Merger of the Company With and Into Orrstown Financial Services, Inc.

The stockholders approved the Agreement and Plan of Merger by and between Orrstown Financial Services, Inc. (“Orrstown”) and the Company dated as of October 23, 2018 (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company will merge with and into Orrstown, whereupon the separate corporate existence of the Company will cease (the “Merger”).  The result of the vote taken was as follows:

In connection with the Meeting, the Company also solicited proxies with respect to a proposal to adjourn the Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, in the event there were not sufficient votes in favor of the Merger Agreement at the time of the Meeting.  The adjournment proposal was not submitted to the stockholders of the Company for approval at the Meeting because Company stockholders approved the Merger Agreement, as noted above.
