Homeland Energy Solutions, LLC held its 2012 annual members meeting on Thursday, April 5, 2012, for the purpose of electing three directors to our board of directors, providing an advisory Say-on-Pay vote and providing an advisory vote on the frequency of the Say-on-Pay vote. Votes were solicited in person and by proxy.

Proposal Two: Say-on-Pay

We conducted an advisory vote where our members could either endorse or not endorse our system of compensating our executive officers called a "Say-on-Pay" vote. Our members voted to endorse our system of compensating our executive officers. The voting results for the Say-on-Pay vote were as follows:

Votes For Votes Against Votes Withheld/Abstain 51,640 5,833 2,850

Proposal Three: Frequency of Say-on-Pay

We conducted an advisory vote on how frequently our members would like to provide the advisory Say-on-Pay vote. The alternatives were for every year, every other year or every third year. Our members approved the every year option. The voting results for the frequency of the Say-on-Pay vote were as follows:

Every Year Every Other Year Every Three Years Abstain 38,234 5,723 13,033 3,333

Board Decision on Frequency of Say-on-Pay

On June 20, 2012, our Board of Directors took the "Say-on-Pay" member vote under advisement and decided to hold the Say-on-Pay vote every three years. Therefore, we anticipate that we will next present the Say-on-Pay vote to our members at our 2015 Annual Member Meeting.
