Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Securityholders

 

On November 10, 2023, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Meeting”). As of the record date for the Meeting, 211,552,839 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding. A total of 93,023,880 shares of common stock, constituting a quorum, were present and accounted for at the Meeting. At the Meeting, the Company’s stockholders voted on the below proposals, in the numbers set forth:

 

PROPOSAL   YES   NO   ABSTAIN
           
1) APPROVE INCREASE SHS 2018 EIP   67.288%   32.008%   0.705%
    23,583,487   11,218,249   246,958
    Broker Non-Vote:   57,975,186  
             
2) APPROVE NAME CHANGE   88.207%   9.415%   2.378%
    80,881,423   8,632,931   2,180,830
    Broker Non-Vote:   1,328,696  
             
3) APPROVE REINCORPORATION   90.730%   7.352%   1.918%
    32,968,519   2,671,455   697,116
    Broker Non-Vote:   56,686,790  

 

As a result, Proposal 1, which required approval of a majority of the shares voting either in person or by proxy thereon, was approved by the shareholders. With regard to Proposals 2 and 3, the shares voted in favor of each proposal were overwhelmingly voted in favor; however, in both cases an insufficient number of shares were voted to meet the required approval of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon; therefore, the matters were not approved.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Form 8-K and other reports filed by Registrant from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (collectively, the “Filings”) contain or may contain forward-looking statements and information that are based upon beliefs of, and information currently available to, Registrant’s management as well as estimates and assumptions made by Registrant’s management. When used in the Filings the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” “plan” or the negative of these terms and similar expressions as they relate to Registrant or Registrant’s management identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current view of Registrant with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors relating to Registrant’s industry, Registrant’s operations and results of operations and any businesses that may be acquired by Registrant. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended or planned.

 

Although Registrant believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, Registrant cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, Registrant does not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.
