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

On July 28, 2011, Exact Sciences Corporation (the “Company”) held its 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The certified results of the matters voted upon at the meeting, which are more fully described in the Company’s Proxy Statement for the 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 29, 2011, are as follows:

The Company’s stockholders elected the two nominees to the Company’s Board of Directors to serve for three year terms as Class II directors, with the votes cast as follows:

James P. Connelly	12,845,958	11,243,203	20,930,859
Lionel N. Sterling	15,042,661	9,046,500	20,930,859

The Company’s stockholders approved, on an advisory basis, the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers, with votes cast as follows:
