Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

Final Voting Results

At the Chanticleer Holdings, Inc. 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders on December 20, 2019, the stockholders Chanticleer Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Chanticleer”) elected all of the board nominees.

In addition, the stockholders ratified the selection of Cherry Bekaert LLP  as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2019.

On an advisory basis, shareholders approved the compensation paid to our Named Executive Officers (as that term is defined in the Proxy Statement for the 2019 Annual Meeting) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.

On an advisory basis, for the say-on-frequency proposal, “Three Years” received a plurality of votes. After consideration of the voting results and other factors, on December 20, 2019, the Board has determined that the Company will hold a stockholder vote on executive compensation every three years through 2025, when the next stockholder vote on the frequency of say-on-pay votes is required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or until the Board otherwise determines that a different frequency for such votes is in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders.

Of the 10,253,545 shares of common stock outstanding on the record date of November 13, 2019, a total of 7,410,088 shares were voted in person or by proxy, representing 72.27% of the votes entitled to be cast, constituting a majority and therefore more than a quorum of the outstanding shares entitled to vote. Votes were cast as follows:

1. To elect Michael D. Pruitt, Neil C. Kiefer, Keith J. Johnson, J. Eric Wagoner, Frederick L. Glick, and Russell J. Page to serve a one-year term until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified or until their death, resignation, removal or disqualification

2. To approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation paid to our Named Executive Officers (as that term is defined in the Proxy Statement for the 2019 Annual Meeting) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018

3. To vote, on an advisory basis, on how frequently we should seek approval from our stockholders of the compensation paid to our Named Executive Officers

4. To ratify the selection of Cherry Bekaert LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019
