Authentidate Holding Corp. (the “Company”) held its annual meeting of stockholders on May 28, 2015 in Berkeley Heights, New Jersey. The results of the matters voted on by the stockholders are set forth below. Only stockholders of record as of the close of business on April 8, 2015 were entitled to vote at the annual meeting. As of the record date, 41,964,118 shares of common stock of the Company were outstanding and entitled to vote at the annual meeting. At the annual meeting, 28,654,545 shares of common stock of the Company were represented, in person or by proxy, constituting a quorum. Set forth below are the matters acted upon by stockholders and the final voting results of each such proposal.
Proposal 4 in the Company’s definitive proxy statement for the Annual Meeting, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 17, 2015 (the “Proxy Statement”), sought approval of an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) to increase the number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock from 100,000,000 shares to 150,000,000 (the “Amendment”). As disclosed in the supplement to the proxy statement filed by the Company on May 27, 2015, the Company determined to revise the Amendment to provide for a larger increase in the number of authorized shares of its common stock than originally proposed. As revised, the proposed Amendment seeks approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock to 190,000,000 shares. To permit stockholders additional time to consider the changes to Proposal 4 and to enable the Company additional time to solicit stockholder votes on amended Proposal 4, the Company’s Board of Directors adjourned the Annual Meeting, solely with respect to Proposal 4, until June 30, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. local time, at the offices of Company, located at Connell Corporate Center, 300 Connell Drive, 5th Floor, Berkeley Heights, New Jersey 07922.
