Item 5.07

Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

The Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of Teradata Corporation (“Teradata” or the “Company”) was held on April 19, 2017. At the Annual Meeting, the holders of a total of 118,632,900 shares of the Company’s common stock entitled to vote were present in person or represented by proxy, constituting approximately 90.63% of the total shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Stockholders voted on four matters: a proposal to elect Nancy E. Cooper, Daniel R. Fishback, David E. Kepler, and William S. Stavropoulos as Class I directors, an advisory (non-binding) vote on executive compensation (a “say-on-pay” vote), an advisory (non-binding) vote on the frequency of say-on-pay votes, and a proposal to ratify the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2017. The number of shares voted with respect to each matter required to be reported herein was certified by an independent inspector of elections, the results of which are set forth below:

1. Election of Class I directors for three-year terms expiring at the 2020 Annual Meeting and to hold office until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified.

 

1a. Nancy E. Cooper
For: 106,676,329		Against: 1,990,809		Abstain: 137,779		Broker Non-Votes: 9,827,983
1b. Daniel R. Fishback

For: 105,636,190		Against: 3,029,345		Abstain: 139,382		Broker Non-Votes: 9,827,983
2. An advisory (non-binding) vote on executive compensation (“say-on-pay”).
For: 105,571,416		Against: 2,913,546		Abstain: 319,955		Broker Non-Votes: 9,827,983
3. An advisory (non-binding) vote on the frequency of say-on-pay votes.
1 Year: 104,631,263		2 Years: 249,627		3 Years: 3,670,494		Abstain: 253,533
						Broker Non-Votes: 9,827,983

Based on these results, Teradata’s Board of Directors has determined that the Company will hold an advisory (non-binding) shareholder vote on the compensation of its executives every year until the next required vote on the frequency of say-on-pay votes which will occur no later than the Company’s 2023 Annual Meeting.

4. Ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2017.
