Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

A special meeting of stockholders of Navigant Consulting, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), was held on October 10, 2019 in Chicago, Illinois (the “Special Meeting”). A total of 32,067,257 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”), out of a total of 38,294,004 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote as of September 4, 2019 (the “Record Date”), were present in person or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting and, therefore, a quorum was present. A summary of the voting results for the following proposals, each of which is described in detail in the Company’s definitive proxy statement, dated September 10, 2019 and first mailed to the Company’s stockholders on or about September 12, 2019, is set forth below:
Approval of the Merger and the Other Transactions Contemplated by the Merger Agreement
As previously disclosed, on August 2, 2019, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, by and among the Company, Guidehouse LLP, a Delaware limited liability partnership (“Parent”), and Isaac Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Sub”) (as amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”). The Merger Agreement provides for Sub to merge with and into the Company, causing the Company to become a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”).
At the Special Meeting, the Company’s stockholders voted upon and approved a proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement. Approximately 84% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock voted in favor of the proposal. The votes on this proposal were as follows:

At the Special Meeting, the Company’s stockholders voted upon and approved a proposal to approve, by a non-binding advisory vote, the compensation that may be paid or become payable to the Company’s named executive officers and that is based on, or otherwise relates to, the Merger. Approximately 69% of the shares of Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting were voted in favor of the proposal. The votes on this proposal were as follows:

Adjournment of the Special Meeting
Because stockholders holding at least a majority of the shares of Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote approved the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement, the vote was not called on the proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting from time to time to a later date or time if necessary or appropriate, including to solicit additional proxies in favor of the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement if there are insufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to adopt the Merger Agreement.
