| Item 5.07 |
Submission of Matters to a Vote of Stockholders
|
On September 15, 2025, the Company held a virtual special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”), at which the holders of 22,116,406 shares of Company common
stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Shares”) and the holder of 150,000 shares of Company preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, designated as Series A Preferred Shares (the “Series A Preferred Shares” and, together with the Common
Shares, the “Shares”) representing approximately 65% of the voting power of the Shares (including the Series A Preferred Shares voting on an as-converted basis and together with the Common Shares) outstanding and entitled to vote as of the Special
Meeting record date of August 14, 2025 (the “Record Date”), were present at the Special Meeting via the virtual meeting website or represented by proxy. A summary of the final voting results for the following proposals, each of which is described
in detail in the Proxy Statement and first mailed to the Company’s stockholders on or about August 15, 2025, is set forth below:
Proposal 1: Merger Agreement Proposal
As previously announced, on July 8, 2025, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as the same may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to
time in accordance with its terms, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, SUP Parent Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Parent”), and SUP Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary
of Parent (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company (the “Merger” and, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Transactions”), with the Company surviving the Merger
as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.
At the Special Meeting, the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement (the “Merger Agreement Proposal”) was approved, having received “for” votes from holders of a
majority of the voting power of the outstanding Shares (including the Series A Preferred Shares voting on an as-converted basis and together with the Common Shares) entitled to vote on the Merger Agreement Proposal. The final votes on the Merger
Agreement Proposal were as follows:
|
FOR
|
|
AGAINST
|
|
ABSTENTIONS
|
|
26,880,579
|
|
1,152,485
|
|
35,020
|
Proposal 2: Non-Binding Merger-Related Compensation Proposal
At the Special Meeting, holders of Shares voted upon and approved the proposal to approve, by a non-binding advisory vote, the compensation that may be paid or become
payable to the Company’s named executive officers that is based on or otherwise relates to the Transactions, including the Merger (the “Merger-Related Compensation Proposal”). The Merger-Related Compensation Proposal was approved, having received
“for” votes from holders of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding Shares (including the Series A Preferred Shares voting on an as-converted basis and together with the Common Shares) represented and voting at the Special Meeting (which
Shares voting affirmatively also constituted at least a majority of the required quorum). The final votes on the Merger-Related Compensation Proposal were as follows:
|
FOR
|
|
AGAINST
|
|
ABSTENTIONS
|
|
26,758,261
|
|
1,273,215
|
|
36,608
|
Proposal 3: Adjournment Proposal
Because no supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement was necessary to be provided to the Company’s stockholders and there were sufficient votes at the time of the
Special Meeting to approve the Merger Agreement Proposal, adjournment of the Special Meeting was not necessary or appropriate. Accordingly, Proposal 3 was rendered moot and was not presented at the Special Meeting.
