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

    On June 6, 2025, Garmin held its annual general meeting of shareholders. At the annual general meeting, Garmin's shareholders voted on the proposals set forth below, each of which is described in Garmin’s proxy statement for the 2025 annual general meeting.

    Under Swiss law and Garmin's Articles of Association, shareholder approval of proposals is generally determined by a simple majority of votes cast, such that abstentions and broker non-votes are disregarded in the calculation of the vote required for approval. At the 2025 annual general meeting, abstentions and broker non-votes were not considered in the tabulation of the vote (and should be disregarded) for each of Proposals 1 through 14. Approval of Proposal 15 is determined by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the votes and the absolute majority of the par value of shares, such that abstentions and broker non-votes were considered as votes against this proposal.
