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

The Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Motorcar Parts of America, Inc. (the “Registrant”) was held on March 21, 2012.

The Registrant’s stockholders voted on proposals to: (i) elect directors; (ii) ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the Registrant’s independent registered public accountants for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2012; (iii) approve on a non-binding advisory basis the compensation of our named executive officers, and (iv) approve on a non-binding advisory basis the frequency of future advisory votes on the compensation of our named executive officers.

All nominees for election to the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) as Directors were elected to serve until the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until their respective successors are elected and qualified, or until the earlier of such director’s death, resignation or removal. The stockholders also ratified the selection of the independent registered public accountants, approved on a non-binding advisory basis the compensation of our named executive officers and approved on a non-binding advisory basis every year as the frequency of future advisory votes on the compensation of our named executive officers.  The Board had recommended a vote in favor of every year as the frequency of future advisory votes on the compensation of our named executive officers.  In light of the outcome of the vote at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on March 21, 2012 and the Board’s recommendation to stockholders regarding the frequency of future advisory votes on the compensation of our named executive officers, our decision is to include a stockholder vote on an advisory basis on the compensation of our named executive officers in our proxy materials every year until the next required vote on the frequency of stockholder votes on the compensation of executives.
