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

(a) Nucor Corporation (the “Corporation”) held its annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) on May 13, 2016.

(b) At the Annual Meeting, stockholders elected all eight of the directors nominated by the Board to serve for a term of one year and until their successors are duly elected and qualified. Each director received a greater number of votes cast “for” his or her election than votes “withheld” from his or her election as reflected below. The stockholders also ratified the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Corporation’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2016. The stockholders did not approve the proposal to amend the Corporation’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation to adopt a majority vote standard, eliminate cumulative voting and remove obsolete provisions. The stockholders did not approve the two stockholder proposals presented at the Annual Meeting. For more information on the proposals, see the 2016 Proxy Statement. The final voting results for each of the proposals presented at the Annual Meeting are set forth below.
