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

On June 22, 2023, LINKBANCORP, Inc. (“LINK”) held a Special Meeting of Shareholders (the “Meeting”). The voting results from the Meeting as to the proposals presented to shareholders were as follows:

PROPOSAL 1: A proposal to approve the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 22, 2023, by and between LINK and Partners Bancorp (“Partners”), and the transactions contemplated by that agreement, pursuant to which Partners will merge with and into LINK, as more fully described in the joint proxy statement/prospectus (the “LINK merger proposal”).

PROPOSAL 2: A proposal to approve an amendment to LINK’s Articles of Incorporation to increase LINK’s authorized shares of common stock by 25 million to 50 million (the “LINK charter amendment proposal”).

	Votes For	Votes Against	Votes Abstained	Broker Non-Votes
Common Stock	10,994,700	23,093	8,981	-

Both proposals were approved by LINK shareholders. In connection with the Meeting, LINK also solicited proxies with respect to a proposal to adjourn the Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, in the event there were not sufficient votes in favor of the LINK merger proposal or the LINK charter amendment proposal at the time of the Meeting. Because the shareholders approved the LINK merger proposal and the LINK charter amendment proposal at the Meeting, the adjournment proposal was not submitted to the shareholders.
