 as it would have been voted at the originally scheduled meeting. You will still be able to change or revoke your proxy until it is voted.

Who counts the votes?

Broadridge Financial Solutions will tabulate votes cast by proxy at the Annual Meeting. They will also certify the results of the voting and will also determine whether a quorum is present at the meeting. Any votes cast electronically during the Annual Meeting will be included in the final voting tally.

How are abstentions and broker non-votes treated?

You may abstain from voting on one or more nominees for director. You may also abstain from voting on any or all other proposals. Abstentions will be treated as shares that are present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum, but will not be counted in the number of votes cast for or against any nominee or with respect to any other matter. If a broker does not receive voting instructions from the beneficial owner of shares on a particular matter and indicates on the proxy that it does not have discretionary authority to vote on that matter, we will treat these shares as present at the meeting for purposes of determining a quorum but the shares will not count as votes cast on the matter. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not affect the outcome of any matters to be voted on at the Annual Meeting.

How does the Board recommend that I vote my shares?

The Board recommends a vote FOR each of the nominees for director set forth in this Proxy Statement, and FOR the approval of the say-on-pay proposal.

With respect to any other matter that properly comes before the Annual Meeting, the proxy holders will vote as recommended by the Board of Directors or, if no recommendation is given, in their own discretion in the best interests of Stock Yards Bancorp. At the date this Proxy Statement went to press, the Board of Directors had no knowledge of any business other than that described herein that would be presented for consideration at the Annual Meeting.

Is my vote confidential?

Proxy instructions, ballots and voting tabulations that identify individual shareholders are kept confidential from our management and Board of Directors to protect your voting privacy. We will not disclose the proxy voting instructions or ballots of individual shareholders unless disclosure is required by law and in certain other limited circumstances. If you write comments on your proxy card, the card may be forwarded to our management and Board of Directors to review your comments.
