Frank’s International N.V. (the “Company”) held a special meeting of its common and preferred shareholders (the “Special Meeting”) on November 6, 2013. At the Special Meeting, the Company’s shareholders were requested to: (1) elect two additional directors to serve on the Company’s board of supervisory directors (the “Supervisory Board”) for a term of office expiring at the Company’s 2014 annual meeting of shareholders; (2) approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers; and (3) conduct an advisory vote on the frequency of the advisory vote on compensation of the Company’s named executive officers. The following are the final voting results on the proposals considered and voted upon at the Special Meeting, each of which is more fully described in the Company’s proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 18, 2013 (the “Proxy Statement”):
