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

Six proposals described fully in the Sykes Enterprises, Incorporated (the “Company”) 2011 Proxy Statement were presented for approval at the Company’s 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) held on May 19, 2011. As of the record date, 46,700,248 shares of common stock were outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. At the Annual Meeting 43,928,549 shares of common stock were represented in person or by proxy; therefore, a quorum was present.

The shareholders of the Company voted on the following six matters:

Proposal 1: Election of Directors

There were four Class I director positions up for election. The following persons were nominated and elected to serve as directors of the Company until the 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders: H. Parks Helms, Linda McClintock-Greco, M.D., James K. Murray, Jr. and James S. MacLeod. The voting results for each nominee were as follows:

Name		Votes For				Withheld				Broker Non-Votes

Linda McClintock-Greco, M.D.			41,625,238				927,292				1,376,019

James S. MacLeod			41,757,408				795,122				1,376,019

Proposal 2: Advisory Vote to Approve Executive Compensation

The proposal to approve, on a non-binding, advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed in the 2011 Proxy Statement, received the following votes:

Votes For		Votes Against		Abstained		Broker Non-Votes
41,266,466		1,134,373		151,691		1,376,019

The proposal to approve, on an advisory basis, the frequency with which shareholders will be provided an advisory vote on executive compensation, as disclosed in the 2011 Proxy Statement, received the following votes:

Every Year		Every Two Years		Every Three Years		Abstained		Broker Non-Votes
39,417,403		35,680		2,996,464		102,983		1,376,019

As the Company’s Board of Directors recommended, and a majority of the votes cast approved, the Company will submit executive compensation to the shareholders on an annual basis until the issue of the frequency of such vote is again brought before the shareholders.
