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

The Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of MercadoLibre, Inc. (the “Company”) was held on June 10, 2016 for the following purposes:

·

to elect the three Class III directors nominated and recommended by the Company’s board of directors, each to serve until the 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified;

·

to hold an advisory vote on executive compensation; and

·

to ratify the appointment of Deloitte & Co. S.A. as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016.

The number of outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock as of April 18, 2016, the record date for the Annual Meeting, was 44,157,341 shares. 38,988,426 shares of common stock were represented in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting, which were sufficient to constitute a quorum for the purpose of transacting business at the Annual Meeting. 

At the Annual Meeting, the stockholders elected all three Class III director nominees, approved (on a non-binding basis) the Company’s executive compensation and ratified the appointment of Deloitte & Co. S.A. as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016.  The final voting results for each of the matters submitted to a vote of stockholders at the Annual Meeting are set forth below.
