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

 

Blue Apron Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) held its 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) on June 13, 2019, where the proposals listed below were submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders. The proposals are described further in the Company’s definitive proxy statement for the Annual Meeting. At the Annual Meeting:

 

1. The stockholders voted to elect each of the two Class II directors, Julie M.B. Bradley and Brian P. Kelley, to hold office until the Company’s 2022 annual meeting of stockholders or until their successors are duly elected and qualified, subject to their earlier death, resignation or removal.

 

2. The stockholders voted to approve an amendment to the Company’s restated certificate of incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, using a reverse split ratio of not less than 1-for-5 and not more than 1-for-15, with the exact ratio to be set within that range at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) before the Company’s 2020 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Reverse Stock Split Amendment”).

 

3. The stockholders voted to ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.

 

Holders of the Company’s Class A Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share and holders of the Company’s Class B Common Stock are entitled to ten votes per share. Holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock voted together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders at the Annual Meeting.
