Item 5.07.

Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

On April 28, 2015, Exelon Corporation (Exelon) held its annual meeting of shareholders. Each of the 13 directors standing for election received the requisite vote. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP was ratified as Exelon’s independent auditors for 2015. The 2014 compensation for Exelon’s named executive officers was approved by 82.06 percent of the votes cast. The performance measures for Exelon’s long term incentive plan were also approved. Exelon’s management proposal on proxy access passed with 52.05 percent of the votes cast. The shareholder proposal on proxy access presented by the New York City Comptroller’s Office was not approved. It received 43.16 percent of the votes cast. The voting on the proxy access proposals reflects shareholder support for proxy access as formulated by the Exelon management proposal. Exelon’s Board of Directors will consider the results of the vote on proxy access and further input from Exelon’s shareholders and present a proposal at the 2016 annual meeting of shareholders to amend Exelon’s By-laws to provide proxy access rights for shareholders.

The following tables present the final results of voting on each of the matters submitted to a vote of security holders during Exelon’s annual meeting of shareholders:
