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

On July 21, 2022, Perma-Fix Environmental Services, Inc. (“the Company”) held its 2022 annual meeting of stockholders (the “2022 Annual Meeting”).

As of the record date for the 2022 Annual Meeting, 13,272,623 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, 9,625,251 shares were present at the meeting in person or by proxy, representing approximately 72.52% of the Company’s securities entitled to vote.

At the 2022 Annual Meeting, stockholders (1) reelected the Company’s eight directors; (2) ratified the appointment of Grant Thornton, LLP, as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the 2022 fiscal year; and (3) approved, by non-binding advisory vote, the 2021 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:

There were 3,687,808 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 2022 Fiscal Year:

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.

Proposal No. 3—Approval, by an Advisory (Non-Binding) Vote, of the 2021 Compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers:

There were 3,687,808 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 approve the advisory vote on executive compensation. Withheld votes and broker non-votes were not treated as votes cast, and therefore had no effect on this proposal.
