Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
On October 11, 2018, Horizon Technology Finance Corporation (the “Company”) convened a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) for the purpose of voting on proposals (i) to approve the application to the Company of the reduced asset coverage requirements in Section 61(a)(2) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, which would permit the Company to reduce the asset coverage requirements applicable to the Company from 200% to 150%, such that the Company would have a debt to equity ratio of a maximum of 2.0x (i.e., $2 of debt outstanding for each $1 of equity) as compared to a current maximum of 1.0x (i.e., $1 of debt outstanding for each $1 of equity) and (ii) to approve a new investment management agreement between the Company and Horizon Technology Finance Management LLC, the Company’s investment adviser.
Because less than fifty percent (50%) of the shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote were present in person or by proxy, the presiding officer of the Special Meeting, Robert D. Pomeroy, Jr., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, adjourned the Special Meeting to October 30, 2018 at 10:00 a.m. to allow the Company to solicit additional proxies to obtain the requisite quorum necessary to conduct business. The Special Meeting will be reconvened at the offices of Horizon Technology Finance Corporation, located at 312 Farmington Avenue, Farmington, Connecticut, on October 30, 2018 at 10:00 a.m.
