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

 

At the 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Company held on June 9, 2023, Regeneron’s shareholders voted, among other matters, on a proposal on the frequency of future advisory shareholder votes on executive compensation.  As reported by the Company in the Original Report, a frequency of every one year received a majority of the votes cast on the proposal. Based on these results and the recommendation of the Compensation Committee and the Corporate Governance and Compliance Committee of Regeneron’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), on September 8, 2023 the Board determined that future advisory shareholder votes on executive compensation will continue to be held every one year.
