With respect to the proposal to amend and restate the charter of the Company to eliminate the supermajority provisions contemplated by the Maryland General Corporation Law and the Company’s charter and make certain conforming changes to the charter, the proposal received a substantial favorable vote at the 2019 Annual Meeting, but did not receive the vote required for approval under the Company’s charter, which is the affirmative vote of holders representing eighty percent or more of the voting power of all shares of outstanding stock of NCR entitled to vote generally in the election of directors. As previously disclosed, in order to allow for additional voting on this proposal, the Chairman of the meeting determined, in his discretion, to adjourn the 2019 Annual Meeting with respect to this proposal (and only this proposal). The Company will include the results of the votes taken on this proposal at the resumed meeting in an amendment to this Current Report on Form 8-K, or a new Current Report on Form 8-K, to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission within four business days after the vote on the proposal is concluded.

As noted above, the holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, voted on the election of two directors at the 2019 Annual Meeting. The directors were-elected to serve a term expiring at NCR’s 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualify, by the votes set forth in the table below:
