Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

On March 9, 2023, the Company held its annual meeting of stockholders pursuant to notice duly given. The Company's stockholders voted on the following four proposals and cast their votes as set forth below.



    1.   All of the Board's nominees for director were elected to the class of
         directors whose term expires in 2026 by the votes set forth in the table
         below:



                       For            Against       Abstain       Broker Non-Votes
Juan Enriquez        46,641,150       3,802,086       57,369              1,970,877
Sean D. Keohane      49,960,859         507,719       32,027              1,970,877
William C. Kirby     49,741,790         726,753       32,062              1,970,877
Raffiq Nathoo        50,187,773         278,654       34,178              1,970,877

In addition to the directors elected at the meeting to the class of directors whose terms expire in 2026, the terms of office of the following directors continued after the meeting: Cynthia A. Arnold, Douglas G. Del Grosso, Christine Y. Yan, Michael M. Morrow, Sue H. Rataj, Frank A. Wilson, and Matthias L. Wolfgruber.



    2.   The Company's stockholders approved, on an advisory basis, the
         compensation of the Company's named executive officers by the votes set
         forth in the table below:



For:                  48,577,926
Against:                 945,721
Abstain:                 976,958
Broker Non-Votes:      1,970,877



    3.   The Company's stockholders recommended, as set forth below, the frequency
         with which the Company should hold its advisory vote on executive
         compensation:



One Year:             48,065,759
Two Years:                30,347
Three Years:           1,583,482
Abstain:                 821,017
Broker Non-Votes:      1,970,877

In light of these voting results, and consistent with the recommendation of the Company's Board of Directors, the Board will hold its advisory vote on the compensation of named executive officers annually until the next frequency vote. A frequency vote is required to be held at least once every six years.



    4.   The Company's stockholders ratified the appointment of Deloitte & Touche
         LLP as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for
         the fiscal year ending September 30, 2023 by the votes set forth in the
         table below:



For:         50,560,417
Against:      1,873,392
Abstain:         37,673

The proposal to ratify the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP was a routine matter and, therefore, there were no broker non-votes relating to that matter.
