Item 5.07           Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

 

Willdan Group Inc. (the “Company”) held its Annual Meeting of Stockholders (“Annual Meeting”) on June 4, 2010.  At the Annual Meeting, three proposals, which are described in detail in the Company’s definitive proxy statement dated April 21, 2010 for the Annual Meeting (the “Proxy Statement”), were submitted to a vote of the stockholders.  The stockholders voted to (i) elect the nine director nominees named in the Proxy Statement; (ii) ratify the appointment of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG LLP (“KPMG”); and (iii) approve the amendments to the Company’s 2008 Performance Incentive Plan.

 

The total number of shares present in person or by proxy was equal to 58.2% of the total shares issued and outstanding, thereby constituting a quorum for the purpose of the Annual Meeting.  Abstentions and broker non-votes were counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum was present.

 

The results of the vote for each proposal were as follows:
