Because we could not specifically separate shares that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effectiveness of the 2017 Reverse Stock Split from shares that were not, we required 2,192,058 affirmative votes on this proposal, which represents the sum of (i) one share more than fifty percent of our outstanding voting securities as of the record date for the 2017 Annual Meeting plus (ii) the number of voting securities that have been issued since the effectiveness of the 2017 Reverse Stock Split. Accordingly, the stockholders approved the proposal to ratify the July 2017 Certificate of Amendment and the 2017 Reverse Stock Split.</p>

Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
On
March 23, 2018, Bridgeline Digital, Inc. (the "Company") held its 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Meeting"). Stockholders present at the Meeting, either in person or by proxy, represented 82.3% of the 4,360,485 shares eligible to vote at the meeting. The following is a summary of the matters voted on and the results of the voting at the meeting:
Proposal 1 -
The results of the voting for the election of
two directors to serve a term of three years each:
Nominees
For
Withheld

1,209,644
Roger Kahn
2,359,488
17,601
1,209,644
The Company
's directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast. Accordingly, each of the nominees named above was elected to serve on the Company's Board of Directors until the 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, or until their successors are elected and qualified.
Proposal 2 -
The results of the voting to approve the ratification of the filing and effectiveness of the Certificate of Amendment to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation filed with the Delaware Division of Corporations on July 21, 2017 (the "July 2017 Certificate of Amendment") and the one-for-five reverse stock split of our common stock (the "2017 Reverse Stock Split") that was effected thereby and became effective on July 24, 2017 (the "Amendment Ratification") were as follows:
For
Against
Abstain
Broker Non-Votes
3,421,727
159,583
5,423

Because we could not specifically separate shares that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effectiveness of the 2017 Reverse Stock Split from shares that were not, we required 2,192,058 affirmative votes on this proposal, which represents the sum of (i) one share more than fifty percent of our outstanding voting securities as of the record date for the 2017 Annual Meeting plus (ii) the number of voting securities that have been issued since the effectiveness of the 2017 Reverse Stock Split. Accordingly, the stockholders approved the proposal to ratify the July 2017 Certificate of Amendment and the 2017 Reverse Stock Split.

approve an adjournment of the Meeting, if necessary and appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the Meeting to approve Proposal 2 were as follows:
