Item 5.07.    Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
A special meeting of the stockholders of Inland Real Estate Corporation (the “Company”) was held on March 23, 2016 (the “Special Meeting”). At the Special Meeting, the Company’s common stockholders were asked to vote on matters related to the proposed merger (the “Merger”) between the Company and Midwest Retail Acquisition Corp. (“Merger Sub”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of DRA Growth and Income Fund VIII, LLC (“Parent”) and DRA Growth and Income Fund VIII (A), LLC (together with Parent, the “Parent Parties”), pursuant to the terms of that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 14, 2015 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Parent Parties and Merger Sub. The Company previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission the proxy statement and related materials pertaining to this Special Meeting, which describe in detail each of the proposals submitted to stockholders at the Special Meeting. The final results for the votes regarding each proposal are set forth below.
Proposal One: Approval of the Merger and other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. This proposal was approved with the votes shown:  
For
  
Against
  
Abstained
  
Broker Non-Votes
80,899,336
  
759,652
  
293,709

Proposal Two: Approval, on a non-binding, advisory basis, the compensation that maybe paid or become payable to the Company’s named executive officers that is based on or otherwise relates to the Merger. This proposal was approved with the votes shown:

For

Abstained
  
Broker Non-Votes
75,610,348
  
6,002,755

Because there were sufficient votes from the Company’s stockholders to approve the proposal to approve the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, Proposal Three, pertaining to the adjournment of the Special Meeting to solicit additional proxies, was unnecessary.
