Section 5 – Corporate Governance and Management

Item 5.07 - Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

Our 2016 annual meeting of shareholders was held on June 9, 2016.  At the meeting our shareholders elected seven directors to serve until the next annual meeting and until their successors are duly elected and qualified. Our shareholders also ratified the Board of Directors’ selection of OUM & Co. LLP as our independent registered public accountants to audit our financial statements for the current fiscal year.

There were 25,285,743 shares of OncoCyte common stock outstanding and eligible to vote at the annual meeting as of April 27, 2016, the record date for determining shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting, and 24,191,446 shares, or 95.7% of the voting power, represented at the meeting, either in person or by proxy. The following tables show the votes cast by our shareholders and any abstentions with respect to the matters presented to shareholders for a vote at the meeting. Information is also provided as to broker non-votes. A “broker non-vote” occurs when a shareholder whose shares are held in “street name” in a brokerage account or similar account does not instruct the shareholder’s broker or other nominee in whose name the shares are registered how to vote on a matter as to which brokers and nominees are not permitted to vote without instructions from their client. Brokers were not permitted under applicable rules of the New York Stock Exchange and the NYSE MKT to vote in the election of directors, but were permitted to vote for approval of the appointment of our independent registered public accountants.
