Item 5.07
Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
 
On June 21, 2021, QAD Inc. held its annual meeting of stockholders (the "Annual Meeting"). Presented below are the voting results for the proposals submitted to stockholders at the Annual Meeting, which are further described in the Company's Definitive Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 4, 2021.
 
At the Annual Meeting, the presence, in person or by proxy, of stockholders holding at least a majority of the voting power of our outstanding Class A common stock ("Class A Stock") and outstanding Class B common stock ("Class B Stock"), voting as a single class, constituted a quorum for the transaction of business. Each share of Class A Stock has one-twentieth (1/20th) of a vote and each share of Class B Stock has one (1) vote. As of the record date of April 22, 2021 (the "Record Date"), the issued and outstanding voting securities of the Company were as follows:
 
1.         17,380,897 shares of Class A Stock, equivalent to 869,044 votes outstanding;
 
2.         3,330,318 shares of Class B Stock, equivalent to 3,330,318 votes outstanding; and
 
3.         20,711,215 shares of Class A Stock and Class B Stock outstanding, equivalent to 4,199,362 votes entitled to be cast.
 
Present or represented by valid proxy at the Annual Meeting on a combined basis of Class A Stock and Class B Stock were 19,624,396 shares, equivalent to 3,936,651 shares voted representing 93.74% of the shares entitled to vote as of the Record Date. Therefore, a quorum was present for the purposes of the Annual Meeting.
