Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

 

At the 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of Morgan Stanley (the “Company”) held on Friday, May 19, 2023, the shareholders of the Company in attendance (the “Shareholders”), constituting a quorum under the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company, voted on proposals to: (i) elect directors to the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), (ii) ratify the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company’s independent auditor for the 2023 fiscal year, (iii) approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed in the proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 6, 2023 for the Annual Meeting (the “2023 Proxy”) (a non-binding advisory vote) and (iv) vote on the frequency of holding a non-binding advisory vote on the compensation of executives as disclosed in the 2023 Proxy (a non-binding advisory vote). The Shareholders also voted on shareholder proposals requesting (i) adoption of improved shareholder right to call a special shareholder meeting and (ii) adoption of a policy to cease financing new fossil fuel development (collectively, the “Shareholder Proposals”).

 

At the Annual Meeting, all nominees for election to the Board were elected by the Shareholders. The Shareholders also voted to ratify the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company’s independent auditor for the 2023 fiscal year. The proposal to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers as disclosed in the 2023 Proxy, through an advisory vote, was also approved by the Shareholders. The advisory vote on the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation was held, and the option of “1 Year” received a majority of the votes cast. The Shareholder Proposals were not approved by the Shareholders.

 

The number of votes cast for or against and the number of abstentions and broker non-votes with respect to each proposal, as applicable, is set forth below. The Company’s independent inspector of election reported the final vote of the Shareholders as follows:
