This Item 5.07 on Form 8-K/A amends and replaces in its entirety the Item 5.07 included in the Form 8-K of Ascent Media Corporation (the “Company”) filed on July 13, 2010 and sets forth the final voting results for the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders held on July 9, 2010 (the “Annual Meeting”).
At the Annual Meeting, three matters were considered and acted upon: (i) the election of two directors to serve as Class II members of the Company’s Board until the 2013 annual meeting of stockholders or until their respective successors are elected, (ii) the ratification of the selection of KPMG LLP as the Company’s independent auditors for the year ending December 31, 2010, and (iii) a stockholder proposal relating to the redemption of the preferred share purchase rights issued pursuant to the Company’s Rights Agreement, dated September 17, 2008, as amended. The number of votes cast for, against or withheld, as well as the number of abstentions and broker non-votes as to each such matter, are set forth below.
