ITEM 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Securityholders

In the Proxy Statement of Fuel Tech, Inc. (“Fuel Tech”) provided to stockholders in connection with the 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 19, 2011 (the Annual Meeting), Fuel Tech’s Board of Directors (“Board”) recommended that the stockholders vote, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, in favor of an annual frequency for future “say-on-pay” votes. Say-on-pay votes are periodic advisory (non-binding) stockholder votes to approve the compensation paid to Fuel Tech’s named executive officers as disclosed in Fuel Tech’s proxy statements, and are required under Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. As reported in Fuel Tech’s Current Report on Form 8-K for an event dated May 19, 2011 (filed on May 24, 2011), a majority of the shares cast on the matter voted in favor of an annual frequency for say-on-pay votes. After consideration of these voting results and other factors, and consistent with the previous recommendation of the Board, on August 4, 2011 the Board approved an annual frequency for future say-on-pay votes. As a result, the Company plans to conduct a say-on-pay vote each year through 2017, when the next stockholder vote on the frequency of say-on-pay votes is required under the Exchange Act, or until the Board otherwise determines that a different frequency for such votes is in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders.
