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

(a) The Corporation held its annual meeting of stockholders on May 8, 2014.

(b) At the meeting, stockholders elected all nine of the directors nominated by the Board to serve for a term of one year and until their successors are duly elected and qualified. Each director received a greater number of votes cast “for” his or her election than votes “withheld” from his or her election as reflected below. The stockholders also ratified the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Corporation’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2014. The stockholders approved, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Corporation’s named executive officers as disclosed in the Corporation’s proxy statement dated March 25, 2014 (the “2014 Proxy Statement”). The stockholders approved the Nucor Corporation 2014 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan. The stockholders did not approve the stockholder proposal presented at the meeting. For more information on the proposals, see the 2014 Proxy Statement.
