Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
The Annual Meeting of Stockholders of The First of Long Island Corporation (the "Corporation") held April 20, 2011 was called for the following purposes:

(4)

To ratify the reappointment of Crowe Horwath LLP as the Corporation’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2011.
|
For the election of directors, each share is entitled to as many votes as there are directors to be elected, and such votes may be cumulated and voted for one nominee or divided equally among as many different nominees as is desired. If authority to vote for any nominee or nominees is withheld on any proxy, the votes are then spread equally among the remaining nominees. If there is no designation on any proxy as to how the shares represented should be voted, the proxy is voted for the election of all nominated directors.
The following table lists the directors elected at the annual meeting and, for each director elected, the number of votes cast for, the number of votes withheld and the number of broker non-votes. No other persons were nominated and no other persons received any votes.
