Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders Form 8 K

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

On July 18, 2024, Perma-Fix Environmental Services, Inc. ("the Company") held its 2024 annual meeting of stockholders (the "2024 Annual Meeting").

As of the record date for the 2024 Annual Meeting, 15,788,386 shares of the Company's common stock, par value $.001 per share ("Common Stock"), were outstanding, each entitled to one vote per share. Of such outstanding shares of Common Stock, 11,895,952 shares were present at the meeting in person or by proxy, representing approximately 75.35% of the Company's securities entitled to vote.

At the 2024 Annual Meeting, stockholders (1) reelected the Company's nine directors; (2) ratified the appointment of Grant Thornton, LLP, as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the 2024 fiscal year; and (3) approved, by non-binding advisory vote, the 2023 compensation of the Company's named executive officers.

The final results of each of the proposals voted on by the Company's stockholders are described below:

Proposal No. 1-Election of Directors:

Proposal Votes For Withhold
Election of Eight (9) Directors:
Thomas P. Bostick 6,464,871 533,015
Dr. Louis F. Centofanti 6,649,232 348,654
Mark J. Duff 6,712,785 285,101
Kerry C. Duggan 6,472,038 525,848
Joseph T. Grumski 6,640,422 357,464
Joe R. Reeder 6,097,452 900,434
Larry M. Shelton 6,595,490 402,396
Zach P. Wamp 6,463,558 534,328
Mark A. Zwecker 6,311,331 686,555

There were 4,898,066 broker non-votes for each nominee. The election of directors was determined by a plurality of the votes cast at the meeting. Accordingly, withheld votes and broker non-votes were not treated as votes cast, and therefore had no effect on the proposal to elect directors. Each nominee was reelected as a director of the Company, to serve until the Company's next annual meeting of stockholders or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified.

Proposal No. 2-Ratification of the Appointment of Grant Thornton, LLP as the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm of the Company for the 2024 Fiscal Year:

Votes For Votes Against Votes Abstention
11,877,887 6,874 11,191

There were no broker non-votes on this matter. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast at the meeting was necessary to ratify the appointment of Grant Thornton, LLP as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm. Withheld votes and broker non-votes were not treated as votes cast, and therefore had no effect on this proposal.
