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

On July 18, 2023, at a Special Meeting of Stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) of Extra Space Storage Inc. (“Extra Space” or the “Company”), the holders of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (“Extra Space Common Stock”) voted on the (i) approval of the issuance of shares of Extra Space Common Stock in connection with the merger of Eros Merger Sub, LLC, a newly created wholly owned subsidiary of Extra Space (“Extra Space Merger Sub”), with and into Life Storage, Inc. (“Life Storage”), with Life Storage continuing as the surviving entity, pursuant to which each outstanding share of Life Storage common stock (other than shares of Life Storage common stock owned by Life Storage, Life Storage LP, the Company, Extra Space Storage LP, Extra Space Merger Sub, Eros OP Merger Sub, LLC or any of their respective wholly owned subsidiaries, which will be cancelled) will be converted into the right to receive 0.895 of a newly issued share of Extra Space Common Stock, in each case, pursuant to, and on the terms and conditions set forth in, the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 2, 2023, as amended on May 18, 2023 and as it may be further amended from time to time, by and among the Company, Extra Space Storage LP, Extra Space Merger Sub, Eros OP Merger Sub, LLC, Life Storage and Life Storage LP, (the “Common Stock Issuance Proposal”); and (ii) approval of one or more adjournments of the Special Meeting to another date, time or place, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies in favor of the Common Stock Issuance Proposal (the “Adjournment Proposal”).

There were 135,049,081 shares of Extra Space Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote on May 23, 2023, the record date for the Special Meeting, and 122,069,996 shares of Extra Space Common Stock were represented in person or by proxy at the Special Meeting, which number constituted a quorum.
