Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
As previously disclosed, on April 13, 2021, Change Healthcare Inc. (“Change”) held its special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) in connection with the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 5, 2021 (as may be amended or modified from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Merger Agreement”), with UnitedHealth Group Incorporated (“UnitedHealth Group”) and Cambridge Merger Sub Inc. (“Merger Sub”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of UnitedHealth Group, pursuant to which Merger Sub will be merged with and into Change (the “Merger”) and Change will survive the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of UnitedHealth Group. As of the close of business on February 26, 2021, the record date for the Special Meeting, there were 306,530,424 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Change outstanding and entitled to vote, of which 221,249,979 votes were present or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting, which number constituted a quorum. The results for each of the matters voted on at the Special Meeting are set forth below:
Proposal 1: Merger Proposal.
Change’s stockholders approved the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement (the “Merger Proposal”) by the votes set forth in the table immediately below:

221,206,315 | | 23,772 | | 19,892 | | — |
Proposal 2: Named Executive Officer Merger-Related Compensation Proposal.
Change’s stockholders approved, on a non-binding, advisory basis, certain compensation that will or may be paid by Change to its named executive officers that is based on or otherwise relates to the Merger by the votes set forth in the table immediately below:

Votes Cast For | | Votes Cast Against | | Abstentions | | Broker Non-Votes |
214,684,961 | | 6,303,832 | | 261,186 | | — |
Proposal 3: Adjournment Proposal.
In connection with the Special Meeting, Change solicited proxies with respect to a proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting from time to time, if necessary or appropriate, for the purpose of soliciting additional votes for the approval of the Merger Proposal if there were insufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to approve the Merger Proposal (such proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting, the “Adjournment Proposal”). Because there were sufficient votes from Change stockholders to approve the Merger Proposal, adjournment of the Special Meeting was unnecessary and the Adjournment Proposal was not called.
