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

 

On May 24, 2016, Firsthand Technology Value Fund, Inc., held its Annual Meeting of Shareholders to (1) elect two directors, and (2) ratify the selection of Tait Weller & Baker LLP as the independent registered public accountant. At the close of business on the record date, March 15, 2016, an aggregate of 7,702,705 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding.

 

Proposal 1. The election of Director:

Nominee	For	Withheld	Broker Non-Vote
Mark FitzGerald	4,672,416.276	968,098.616
Nicholas Petredis	4,399,547.276	1,240,967.616

Pursuant to the foregoing votes, nominee listed above was elected to serve on the Company's Board of Directors. A broker non-vote occurs when a broker holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the broker does not have discretionary voting power for that particular item and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner or other persons entitled to vote.

 

Proposal 2. The ratification of the selection of Tait Weller & Baker as the Company’s independent registered accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016:
 

For	Against	Abstain
