Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On June 21, 2023, Tracy Gardner notified the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Crocs, Inc. (the “Company”) of her resignation as a member of the Board for personal reasons, effective immediately. Ms. Gardner’s decision to resign was not a result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter related to the Company’s operations, policies, or practices.

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

On June 20, 2023, the Company held its 2023 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) as a virtual meeting online via live audio webcast. The results of the matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders at the Annual Meeting were as follows:

(a) The nominees for election as Class III directors to serve until the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders or until their successors are duly elected and qualified, were elected based on the following votes:


Name of Nominee	Votes For	Votes Withheld	Broker Non-Votes
Thomas J. Smach	43,510,003	3,490,056	5,162,775
Beth J. Kaplan	45,452,086	1,547,973	5,162,775

(b) The proposal to ratify the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2023 was approved based on the following votes:


Votes For	Votes Against	Votes Abstaining
51,645,261	484,588	32,985

(c) The proposal regarding the advisory vote to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers was approved based on the following votes:


Votes For	Votes Against	Votes Abstaining	Broker Non-Votes
45,369,559	1,571,430	59,070	5,162,775

(d) A frequency of every year for future advisory votes to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers was approved based on the following votes:


Votes For 1 Year	Votes For 2 Years	Votes For 3 Years	Votes Abstaining	Broker Non-Votes
46,090,263	24,371	816,390	69,035	5,162,775

As indicated above, over 98% of the votes cast by stockholders were voted, on an advisory basis, in favor of holding an advisory vote to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers every year, which was the voting frequency option that received the highest number of votes cast. In light of these results, the Board has determined to hold an advisory vote to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers every year until the next required advisory vote on the frequency of future advisory votes to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers or until the Board otherwise determines that a different frequency for such advisory votes is in the best interests of the stockholders of the Company.
