| Item 5.07. | Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders |
At the annual meeting of shareholders of OFG Bancorp (the “Company”) held on April 25, 2018 (the “Annual Meeting”), the proposals listed below were submitted to a vote of shareholders as set forth in the Company’s definitive proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) for the Annual Meeting.
Proposal 1 – Election of Directors
The two nominees named in the Proxy Statement, Juan S. Inclán and Pedro Morazzani were elected as directors to serve for a one and three-year term, respectively, except that as a result of the approval of the amendments proposed to the Articles of Incorporation in proposal 3, the terms of all of our directors, including Mr. Morazzani, will end at the 2019 annual meeting of shareholders. The voting results with respect to each nominee were as follows:
| Directors | For | Withheld | Broker Non-Votes | |||
| Julian S. Inclán | 35,102,872 | 3,902,850 | 2,770,682 | |||
| Pedro Morazzani | 38,075,625 | 930,097 | 2,770,682 |
