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&rsquo;s independent registered public accounting firm (Proposal&nbsp;2) is a discretionary item as defined by the New York Stock Exchange; however, Proposal 1 (election of directors), Proposal 3 (approval of compensation), Proposal 4 (approval of the Amended Stock Option and Award Plan), Proposal 5 (approval of the Amended Non-Employee Directors&rsquo; Stock Option and Award Plan), Proposal 6 (approval of the Amended Employee Stock Purchase Plan), and Proposal 7 (approval of an annual advisory vote on executive compensation) 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. </font></p>

Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
.
The following
seven proposals were submitted to stockholders of FactSet
at the Meeting:
1.
To elect three directors to the Board of Directors.
2.
To ratify the appointment of the accounting firm of Ernst & Young LLP as FactSet
's independent registered accounting firm for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2018.
3.
To approve, by non-binding vote, the compensation of the Company
's named executive officers.
4.
To approve the FactSet Research Systems Inc. Stock Option and Award Plan, as Amended and Restated.
5.
To approve the FactSet Research Systems Inc. Non-Employee Directors
' Stock Option and Award Plan, as Amended and Restated.
6.
To approve the FactSet Research Systems Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as Amended and Restated.
7.
To recommend, by non-binding vote, the frequency of executive compensation voting.
For more information about the fore
going proposals, refer to the Company's 2017 Proxy Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 30, 2017. 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), Proposal 4 (approval of the Amended Stock Option and Award Plan), Proposal 5 (approval of the Amended Non-Employee Directors' Stock Option and Award Plan), Proposal 6 (approval of the Amended Employee Stock Purchase Plan), and Proposal 7 (approval of an annual advisory vote on executive compensation) 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
Meeting, 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, 2018 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 approval of the FactSet Research Systems Inc. Stock Option and Award Plan, as Amended and Restated, 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 the FactSet Research Systems Inc. Non-Employee Directors
' Stock Option and Award Plan, as Amended and Restated, 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 the FactSet Research Systems Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as Amended and Restated, requires that a majority of the votes cast at the Meeting (either in person or by proxy) be voted "
FOR" this proposal.
●
The determination of how often a resolution to approve executive officer compensation will be submitted to an advisory vote of stockholders will be determined by a majority of the votes cast at the meeting, except that if no option receives a majority of the votes cast at the meeting, FactSet will consider the option that receives the most votes as the option selected by stockholders.
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:
