The Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of Tengasco, Inc. (the “Company”) was held on December 12, 2017 for the purpose of considering and voting on: the election of Matthew K. Behrent, Peter E. Salas, and Richard M. Thon to the Board of Directors to hold office until their successors shall have been elected and qualify; the approval by nonbinding advisory vote of the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers; and the approval of the Rights Plan established by the Board of Directors as previously disclosed.
By supplemental proxy materials previously filed, the proposal for ratifying the appointment by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Hein & Associates LLP (“Hein”) to serve as the independent certified public accountants for the current fiscal year was withdrawn and the Company did not present any issue relating to the Company’s independent auditors for a vote at the Annual Meeting for the reasons stated in the supplemental proxy materials: Hein had combined with the firm of Moss Adams effective November 16, 2017, and the Audit Committee simultaneously appointed Moss Adams as the Company’s independent certified public accounting firm.
At the close of business on November 8, 2016, the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, there were 10,619,924 shares of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. The holders of 9,466,359 shares of the Company’s common stock were represented in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting, constituting a quorum.
