Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
American National Bankshares Inc. (the “Company”) held a special meeting of shareholders on March 19, 2019. There were 8,739,509 shares of the Company’s common stock entitled to vote at the special meeting, of which 6,368,238 shares were represented by proxy (no shares were voted in person). At the special meeting, the Company’s shareholders approved the merger of HomeTown Bankshares Corporation (“HomeTown”) with and into the Company in accordance with the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of October 1, 2018, between the Company and HomeTown, and a related Plan of Merger.
The Company’s independent inspector of elections reported the vote of the shareholders as follows:

In connection with the special meeting, the Company also solicited proxies with respect to a proposal to adjourn the special meeting, if necessary, for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies.
