Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders..
On May 11, 2021, CrossFirst held its Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). The record date for stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting was March 19, 2021. At the close of business on that date, the Company had 51,681,438 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to be voted at the Annual Meeting. At the Annual Meeting, three proposals were submitted to the Company’s stockholders. The proposals are described in more detail in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 9, 2021. The final voting results were as follows:
Proposal 1
The Company’s stockholders elected the following Class I directors to serve for a term expiring at the 2024 Annual Meeting. The individuals listed below received a plurality of votes cast (meaning the six director nominees who receive the highest number of shares voted “FOR” their election will be elected). Withheld votes and broker non-votes had no impact on the outcome of this proposal.
