ITEM 5.07.                              SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.

 

TESSCO Technologies Incorporated (the “Company”) held its Annual Meeting of Shareholders on July 28, 2010, at its offices in Timonium, Maryland.  Of the 7,541,649 shares of common stock outstanding as of the record date for the Annual Meeting, 7,094,861 shares, or 94% of the total shares eligible to vote at the Annual Meeting, were represented in person or by proxy.  Three proposals were submitted to the shareholders and approved at the Annual Meeting.  The proposals are described in detail in the Definitive Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 16, 2010.  The following is a brief description of each matter voted upon at the Annual Meeting, as well as the number of votes cast “for” or “against” each matter and the number of abstentions and broker non-votes with respect to each matter, both in person and by proxy.

 

Election of Directors.  Each of Jay G. Baitler and Dennis J. Shaughnessy were elected to serve as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) for a term expiring at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held in 2013 and until his successor is duly elected and qualified, as follows:

 

Director		Votes FOR		Votes WITHHELD		Broker Non-Votes
Jay G. Baitler		3,431,851		2,765,162		897,848
Dennis J. Shaughnessy		3,442,976		2,754,037		897,848

 

The term of office of each of Robert B. Barnhill, Jr., John D. Beletic, Benn R. Konsynski, Ph.D., Daniel Okrent and Morton F. Zifferer, Jr. continued following the meeting.

 

Ratify Independent Registered Public Accountants.  The appointment of Ernst & Young LLP to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 27, 2011 was ratified, as follows:

 

FOR		5,858,522
AGAINST		1,234,218
ABSTAIN		2,121

 

Shareholder Proposal.  The shareholders voted to approve a shareholder proposal requesting that the Board of Directors declassify the Board and thereby submit all directors for election on an annual basis rather than staggering their individual elections to occur once every three years, as follows:

 

FOR		3,265,477
AGAINST		2,927,413
ABSTAIN		4,123
Broker Non-Votes		897,848

 

The Board of Directors of the Company has since directed the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board of Directors to study the issue of declassification of the Board and to report to the Board accordingly.
