Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

At the annual meeting of shareholders of PerkinElmer, Inc. (the “Company”) held on April 25, 2017, the shareholders voted on the following proposals:

•

a proposal to elect the eight nominees for director named below for terms of one year each;

•

a proposal to ratify the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the current fiscal year;

•

a proposal to approve, by non-binding advisory vote, the Company’s executive compensation; and

•

a proposal to recommend, by non-binding advisory vote, the frequency of future executive compensation advisory votes.

The shareholders elected each of the nominees to serve as a director for a term of one year. The final number of votes cast for or against or abstaining and the number of broker non-votes for each nominee are listed below. The proposal to ratify the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and the proposal to approve, by non-binding advisory vote, the Company’s executive compensation, were each also approved. The final number of votes cast for or against or abstaining from voting on those two proposals and the number of broker non-votes on the executive compensation proposal are listed below. The frequency option to hold an advisory vote on executive compensation on an annual basis received the most shareholder votes. The final number of votes cast for one, two or three year frequency votes or abstaining from voting and the number of broker non-votes on that proposal are listed below.

In light of the result of the non-binding advisory vote of our shareholders at the annual meeting of shareholders, the Company intends to continue to seek annual non-binding advisory votes on the Company’s executive compensation.
