Item 5.07     Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
BIO-key International, Inc. (the "Company," "we" or "us") held a Special Meeting of Stockholders (the "Special Meeting") on Wednesday, January 27, 2016. All holders of record of our common stock, Series A-1 Preferred Stock, and Series B-1 Preferred Stock outstanding as of the close of business on December 14, 2015 were entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. Holders of our Series A-1 Preferred Stock and Series B-1 Preferred Stock voted on an as converted to common stock basis together with holders of our common stock as a single class. At the Special Meeting, our stockholders approved the following proposals:
1.        Proposal to amend our Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse split of our issued and outstanding common stock at a ratio between 1-for-4 and 1-for-12, with the final decision of whether to proceed with the reverse stock split and the exact ratio and timing of the reverse split to be determined by our board of directors, in its discretion, no later than December 30, 2016. The proposal was approved, and the final voting results are as follows:
Votes For
59,455,493
Votes Against
19,376,550
Abstentions
65,060
Broker Non-Votes
0
Approval of this proposal provides our board of directors with discretion to effect a reverse split of our common stock at any time through December 30, 2016. One of the primary reasons we sought approval to effect a reverse split was to bring our post-split share price to a level in excess of $2.00 or $3.00 per share to satisfy one of the initial listing standards of the Nasdaq Capital Market. Our current intention is to effect a reverse split at a time when our board is confident that we would be able to meet all applicable listing requirements.
2.        Proposal to approve the Company's 2015 Equity Incentive Plan. The proposal was approved, and the final voting results are as follows:
Votes For
31,133,263
Votes Against
8,502,255
Abstentions
893,331
Broker Non-Votes
