Item 5.07 | Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders. |
On September 14, 2021, Enveric Biosciences, Inc. (the “Company”) held its 2021 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). Five proposals were included in the notice of Annual Meeting for consideration at the Annual Meeting. At the Annual Meeting, stockholders of the Company voted on the following four proposals, each of which is more fully described in the Company’s definitive proxy statement/prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and mailed to stockholders on or about August 6, 2021 (the “Proxy Statement”):
1. | the election of five directors to serve until the Company’s 2022 annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified; |
2. | to approve the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock to MagicMed equity holders in connection with the amalgamation on the terms and conditions of the Amalgamation Agreement; |
3. | to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers; and |
4. | to ratify the selection of Friedman LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021. |
Because there were sufficient votes to approve the ENVB Share Issuance Proposal (Proposal 2), adjournment of the Annual Meeting to solicit additional proxies was unnecessary and the adjournment proposal (Proposal 5) was not called to a vote by the Company for approval at the Annual Meeting. The adjournment proposal is described in detail in the Proxy Statement.
Each proposal voted upon at the Annual Meeting and the final voting results are indicated below. As of the close of business on July 30, 2021, the record date for the Annual Meeting, there were 21,432,415 shares of common stock of the Company outstanding. A total of 10,797,302 shares, representing approximately 50.37% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company entitled to vote, were present in person or by proxy, constituting a quorum.
