Autobytel Announces Results of Reconvened Annual Meeting of Stockholders

IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Autobytel Inc. (NAS: ABTL) , a leading provider of online consumer leads and marketing resources for the automotive industry, today announced that Proposal 3 has been approved by the company's stockholders at the reconvened Annual Meeting held today. The Annual Meeting, originally convened on June 20, 2013, was adjourned to today to allow stockholders additional time to vote on Proposal 3.

Proposal 3 approves an amendment to the company's certificate of incorporation to clarify the board of directors' authority to fix the voting rights of any series of preferred stock created and issued pursuant to the provisions of the company's certificate of incorporation authorizing the creation and issuance of one or more series of preferred stock.


The company previously reported that the following proposals were also approved by stockholders at the Annual Meeting:

  • Proposal 1: The reelection of Mr. Michael J. Fuchs and Ms. Janet Thompson as Class III directors of Autobytel's board of directors.

  • Proposal 2: An amendment of Autobytel's certificate of incorporation to reduce the number of authorized shares of common stock to 55,000,000.

  • Proposal 4: An amendment of Autobytel's certificate of incorporation to eliminate provisions establishing the powers, designations, preferences and rights for series A, B and C Preferred Stock.

  • Proposal 5: An advisory vote on the compensation of Autobytel's named executive officers.

  • Proposal 6: A two-year frequency on advisory votes on the compensation of Autobytel's named executive officers. In light of this advisory vote, the board of directors determined that it will include a stockholder vote on the compensation of executives every two years until the next required vote on the frequency of stockholder advisory votes on the compensation of executives, or the board of directors determines that a different frequency for that vote is in the best interests of the company and its stockholders.

  • Proposal 7: The appointment of Moss Adams LLP as Autobytel's independent registered public accounting firm for 2013 was ratified.
