For more information about the foregoing proposals, refer to the Company's 2014 Proxy Statement. Holders of FactSet common stock were entitled to one vote per share and vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. The ratification of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm (Proposal 2) is a discretionary item as defined by the New York Stock Exchange; however proposal 1 (election of directors), proposal 3 (approval of compensation) and proposal 4 (amendment of the Purchase Plan) are considered non-discretionary items and thus brokers were not permitted to vote shares in these matters unless instructions on how to vote these shares were provided to the broker.
Since a quorum was present at the 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the approval of each proposal required the number of votes described below:
●
Under the Company's amended by-laws, the nominees for election as directors of the Company are elected by majority vote, meaning that in an uncontested director election when the number of votes cast "FOR"
a director exceeds the number of votes cast "AGAINST" that director, the nominee will be elected as a director.
●
The ratification of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the year ended August 31, 2015 requires that a majority of the votes cast at the meeting (either in person or by proxy) be voted "FOR" this proposal.
●
The approval of a resolution approving the compensation of FactSet's named executive officers as disclosed in the Proxy Statement is an advisory vote; however, the Company values the opinions of its stockholders and will take into account the outcome of this vote in considering future compensation arrangements.
●
The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of FactSet common stock present or represented by proxy and voting at the 2014 Annual Meeting, together with the affirmative vote of a majority of the required quorum, is required for approval of proposal 4 (the amendment and restatement of the 2008 Employee Stock Purchase Plan).
The number of votes cast for and against and the number of abstentions and non-votes with respect to each matter voted upon are set forth below:
Proposal 1:
To elect three members to FactSet's Board of Directors, each for a three-year term.
