Submission of Matter

On October

, National Beverage Corp. held its Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The following matter w
as
voted upon at the meeting:
Election of
two
Class I Director

for a term of three years. Mr.
Joseph G
. Caporella was re-elected by a vote of
43,646,985
shares for and
216,325
shares withheld
;
and Mr.
Samuel C. Hathorn, Jr.
was re-elected by a vote of
37,696,906
shares for and
6,166,404
shares withheld. There were no broker non-votes with respect to the above proposals.
As of the end of our 2015 fiscal year, 74.3% of our earnings have been distributed to shareholders and our shareholders have been rewarded with value increases (stock appreciation assuming dividend reinvestment) of:

Our Board has been instrumental in leading this exemplary performance and we think both members standing for re-election deserved the support of
all
our shareholders.
Despite their fiduciary responsibilities, some institutions have delegated their voting responsibilities to proxy advisory firms that apparently apply the same guidelines to all corporations on the basis of ideology without regard to their size or other unique aspects. These firms seem to favor form over substance by rewarding "process" rather than "performance."
