item 5 07 shareholder vote drift
What it checks
After an annual or special shareholder meeting (Item 5.07), the firm tends to drift higher when dissent against management was material, as governance pressure leaks into subsequent earnings cycles. Long for 2-6 months.
Mechanism
8-K Item 5.07 (Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders) is filed within 4 business days of annual or special meetings, reporting director-election outcomes, say-on-pay results, and shareholder proposal tallies. Iliev-Lins-Miller-Roth 2015 document positive 6-month drift on years with HIGH dissent (governance pressure leaks into subsequent earnings cycles). Without parsing tallies the family treats any Item 5.07 as the event and lets the harness sort high-dissent years from routine ratifications.
Signal rule
Any 8-K Item 5.07 filing on T+1 fires LONG, hold 60/90/180d.
