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

On May 10, 2022, Montrose Environmental Group, Inc. (the “Company”) held its 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”).

At the Annual Meeting, 26,119,482.6 shares of common stock, or approximately 88.0% of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, were represented in person or by proxy and, therefore, a quorum was present.
