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

(d) As previously reported in the 8-K filed by Lakeland Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) with the SEC on May 10, 2012 reporting the results of voting at the 2012 annual meeting of shareholders (held on May 9, 2012), with respect to the advisory (non-binding) vote on how often the Company will conduct an advisory vote on executive compensation, the greatest number of votes were voted in favor of holding such an advisory vote every year. As indicated in the Company’s proxy statement pertaining to the 2012 annual meeting, the Company’s Board of Directors believes that an advisory vote to approve executive officer compensation should occur annually, and the Board recommended that shareholders vote for annual shareholder advisory votes regarding executive compensation. The Company hereby confirms its decision to hold shareholder votes on executive compensation each year. This is consistent with both the shareholder vote at the 2012 annual meeting and the Board’s recommendation.
