Item 5.07.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
The Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Official Payments Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") was held on March 21, 2013.  The following matters were voted upon at the meeting:
1. Election of seven directors to serve for the ensuing year and until successors are elected (Proposal 1);
2. An advisory vote to approve executive compensation (Proposal 2); and
3. A vote to ratify the selection of Ernst & Young as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2013 (Proposal 3).
The number of shares of common stock entitled to vote at the annual meeting was 16,716,029.  The number of shares of common stock present or represented by proxy was 15,634,296.
Under the Company's certificate of incorporation, stockholders had the right to cumulate their votes with respect to the election of directors at the 2013 annual meeting.  As a result, with respect to the election of directors, each share was entitled to seven votes, which could be allocated among up to seven candidates.  The following votes were cast in favor of the election of the following candidates:  11,533,222 for Charles W. Berger, 11,533,222 for Morgan P. Guenther, 11,533,222 for James C. Hale, 11,533,222 for Alex P. Hart, 11,533,222 for David A. Poe, 11,533,222 for Zachary F. Sadek, and 11,533,222 for Katherine A. Schipper.  The final report of the inspector of election did not detail the number of votes withheld from the various nominees for election to the Board.  However, based on the preliminary report available to the Company immediately prior to the meeting, the Company believes that the holders of 165,287 shares withheld from all of the nominees and that, in addition to the shares withheld from all nominees, the holders of 271,328 shares withheld from Mr. Berger; the holders of 816,313 shares withheld from Mr. Guenther; the holders of 1,019 shares withheld from Mr. Hale; the holders of 271,728 shares withheld from Mr. Hart; the holders of 1,019 shares withheld from Mr. Poe; the holders of 400 shares withheld from Mr. Sadek; and the holders of 1,319 shares withheld from Ms. Schipper.  The following seven individuals were elected as directors at the annual meeting: Mr. Berger, Mr. Guenther, Mr. Hale, Mr. Hart, Mr. Poe, Mr. Sadek, and Ms. Schipper.
The results of the advisory vote to approve executive compensation and the vote to ratify the selection of Ernst & Young as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2013 was as follows:
