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

On October 8, 2014, Comcast Corporation held a special meeting of shareholders in connection with its proposed merger with Time Warner Cable Inc. (the “merger”) pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 12, 2014, among Comcast, Tango Acquisition Sub, Inc. and Time Warner Cable.

At the special meeting, shareholders approved the issuance of shares of Comcast’s Class A common stock to Time Warner Cable stockholders as consideration in the merger (the “stock issuance”). The shareholders that voted at the special meeting represented approximately 84% of the eligible shares entitled to vote in person or by proxy. The number of votes cast for and against and the number of abstentions and broker non-votes are set forth below.

For Against Abstain Broker Non-Votes
353,614,954 1,518,317 1,441,161 0

Because there were sufficient votes at the time of Comcast’s special meeting to approve the stock issuance, a vote was not called on the proposal to approve the adjournment of the Comcast special meeting if necessary to solicit additional proxies.
