Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
On February 28, 2012, PennantPark Floating Rate Capital Ltd. (the “Company”) reconvened its annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) to consider the proposal to elect two directors of the Company. The proposal is described in detail in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 7, 2011. As of December 14, 2011, the record date, 6,850,667 shares of common stock were eligible to vote. A summary of the matters voted upon by the stockholders is set forth below.
Proposal 1. The two director candidates did not receive the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares outstanding to elect two, Class I nominees of the Company to serve as directors. Mr. Marshall Brozost and Mr. Samuel L. Katz, however, received the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares voted. In accordance with Maryland law, they will continue to serve as directors of the Company until their successors are duly elected and qualified as per the Bylaws of the Company. The voting results are set forth below:
