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

(a) Zions Bancorporation, a Utah corporation (“ Zions ”), held a special meeting (the “ Special Meeting ”) of holders of Zions’s common stock on September 14, 2018. At the Special Meeting, holders of Zions’s common stock approved the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “ Plan of Merger ”), dated as of April 5, 2018, by and between Zions and its wholly-owned bank subsidiary, ZB, N.A. (the “ Bank ”), as amended and restated July 10, 2018. Proxies in respect of a sufficient number of votes were received to approve the proposal to authorize Zions’s board of directors to adjourn or postpone the Special Meeting to a later date, if necessary or appropriate, including adjournments to permit further solicitation of proxies in favor of the proposal to approve the Plan of Merger or to vote on other matters properly brought before the Special Meeting, but an adjournment was not necessary in light of the approval of the Plan of Merger. The close of business on July 19, 2018 had been fixed as the record date for determining the holders of Zions’s common stock entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the special meeting of shareholders. As of the close of business on July 19, 2018, 195,400,933 shares of Zions’s common stock were issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting.
