Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

On April 28, 2009, CH Energy Group, Inc. held its Annual Meeting of Shareholders at the Corporation’s offices in Poughkeepsie, New York.

 

As of the record date, March 2, 2009, there were 15,785,199 shares of Common Stock of the Corporation that were eligible to be voted at the meeting. At the Meeting, 14,270,051 shares, or approximately 90.4% of all outstanding shares of Common Stock, were present either in person or by proxy. Three matters were voted upon at the Meeting, with the Board recommending a vote “FOR” each matter.

 

The first matter, Proposal No. 1, was the election of three Class III directors to the Board of Directors, each to serve a three-year term expiring at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders in 2012. The three nominees proposed by the Board were elected.

 

The second matter, Proposal No. 2, was a proposal to amend the Corporation’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation to provide for the annual election of all directors on the Board of Directors. Pursuant to Proposal No. 2, the annual election of directors would be phased-in so that all directors would stand for election on an annual basis in 2012. The proposal passed.

 

The third matter, Proposal No. 3, was a proposal to ratify the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Corporation's independent public accounting firm for 2009. The appointment was ratified.

 

The table below shows the final tally of the voting, superseding the preliminary tally presented at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
