Item 5.07         Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
 
On May 21, 2021, Cable One, Inc. (the “Company”) held its 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). The following is a summary of the final voting results for each matter presented to stockholders at the Annual Meeting. The proposals related to each matter are described in detail in the Company’s definitive proxy statement for the Annual Meeting, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 16, 2021.
 
Proposal No. 1: Election of Directors
 
At the Annual Meeting, the Company’s stockholders voted upon the election of four director nominees, each to hold office until the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until their respective successor is elected and qualified. The votes were cast for each nominee as set forth below:

The Company’s Amended and Restated By-laws (the “By-laws”) provide for majority voting in uncontested director elections, and any incumbent director who fails to receive a majority of the votes cast must submit an offer to resign from the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) no later than two weeks after the Company certifies the voting results. At the Annual Meeting, Mr. Gayner received less than a majority of the votes cast. As a result, Mr. Gayner has submitted to the Company an offer to resign from the Board. In accordance with the By-Laws, the other members of the Board will consider Mr. Gayner’s resignation offer and may either (i) accept the offer or (ii) reject the offer and seek to address the underlying cause(s) of the majority-against vote. The Board must decide whether to accept or reject the resignation offer within 90 days following the certification of the stockholder vote, and, once the Board makes its decision, the Company must promptly make a public announcement of the Board’s decision (including a statement regarding the reasons for its decision in the event the Board rejects the offer of resignation).
 
Proposal No. 2: Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
The Company’s stockholders ratified the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2021, as set forth below:
