Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
On March 17, 2021, the 2020 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of Ecoark Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) was held. The following proposals were submitted to a vote by the Company’s stockholders at the Annual Meeting: (i) election of five members to the Board of Directors for a one-year term expiring at the next annual meeting of stockholders (Proposal 1); (ii) ratification of the selection of RBSM LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021 (Proposal 2); and (iii) approval of an adjournment of the Annual Meeting to a later date or time, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the Annual Meeting, there are not sufficient votes to approve any of the other proposals before the Annual Meeting (Proposal 3). All of these proposals were described in more detail in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 3, 2021.
Set forth below are the voting results on Proposal 1 and Proposal 2 submitted to the stockholders for approval at the Annual Meeting. Because based on the tabulated preliminary voting results at the time of the Annual Meeting there were sufficient votes for Proposal 1 and Proposal 2 to be approved, Proposal 3 was rendered moot and no vote was taken on this proposal at the Annual Meeting.
Proposal 1. The Company’s stockholders voted to elect the following five directors to hold office for a one-year term expiring at the next annual meeting of stockholders.
