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

The Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of Teradata Corporation (“Teradata” or the “Company”) was held on April 26, 2011. At the Annual Meeting, the holders of a total of 140,937,514 shares of the Company’s common stock entitled to vote were present in person or represented by proxy, constituting approximately 83.68% of the total shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Stockholders voted on four matters: a proposal to elect Nancy E. Cooper, David E. Kepler and William S. Stavropoulos as Class I directors, an advisory (non-binding) vote on executive compensation (a “say-on-pay” vote), an advisory (non-binding) vote on the frequency of say-on-pay votes, and a proposal to ratify the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2011. The number of shares voted with respect to each matter required to be reported herein was certified by an independent inspector of elections and is set forth below:

  1. Election of Class I Directors for three-year terms expiring at the 2014 annual meeting of stockholders and to hold office until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified:
