Item 5.07

Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

At the annual meeting of stockholders of Takung Art Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) held on December 28, 2021, the Company’s stockholders voted on the matters described below.

1. The Company’s stockholders elected three directors, each to serve until the 2022 annual meeting of stockholders and until their respective successors have been elected and qualified or until their earlier resignation or removal.

There were 2,000,066 broker non-votes with respect to the election of each director. Broker non-votes represent shares held by broker nominees for beneficial owners that were not voted because the broker nominee did not receive voting instructions from the beneficial owner and lacked discretionary authority to vote the shares on a non-routine proposal.
