Item 5.07    Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
At the 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Era Group Inc. (the “Company”) held on September 12, 2013, stockholders voted on proposals to (i) elect directors of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company, (ii) approve the Era Group Inc. Management Incentive Plan, (iii) approve the Era Group Inc. 2012 Share Incentive Plan, and (iv) ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s independent registered accounting firm.
All nominees for election to the Board were elected for a term that will continue until the next annual meeting of stockholders or until the director’s successor has been duly elected and qualified (or the director’s earlier resignation, death or removal). Each of the proposals to approve the Era Group Inc. Management Incentive Plan and the Era Group Inc. 2012 Share Incentive Plan, each as disclosed in the Company’s proxy statement, was approved. The stockholders’ vote ratified the appointment of the Company’s independent registered accounting firm.
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 stockholders as follows:
