Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders


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

Mitcham Industries, Inc. (the "Company") held its 2012 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the "Annual Meeting") on July 26, 2012 in Huntsville, Texas. At the Annual Meeting, shareholders were requested to (1) elect six individuals to serve on the Board of Directors until the next annual meeting of shareholders, each until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified;
(2) approve, on an advisory basis, Named Executive Officer compensation;
(3) vote, on an advisory basis, on the frequency of future advisory votes on Named Executive Officer compensation; and (4) ratify the selection by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Hein & Associates LLP as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2013. Each proposal was described in the Company's Notice of Annual Meeting and the Company's Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, which were each filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 30, 2012.

The following actions were taken by the Company's shareholders at the Annual Meeting with respect to each of the proposals:

1. Elect six individuals to serve on the Board of Directors until the next annual meeting of shareholders, each until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified. All nominees were re-elected as directors by the votes indicated:
