Item 5.07. | Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders. |
On October 24, 2019, Wesco Aircraft Holdings, Inc. (the “Company” or “Wesco Aircraft”) held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) to consider certain proposals related to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among Wolverine Intermediate Holding II Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), Wolverine Merger Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and the Company, providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”) with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.
As of September 9, 2019, the record date of the Special Meeting, there were 99,749,063 shares of Wesco Aircraft common stock outstanding, each of which was entitled to one vote for each proposal at the Special Meeting. At the Special Meeting, a total of 89,705,620 shares of Wesco Aircraft common stock, representing approximately 89.9% of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, were present in person or by proxy, constituting a quorum to conduct business.
At the Special Meeting, Wesco Aircraft stockholders considered three proposals, each of which is described in more detail in a definitive proxy statement filed by Wesco Aircraft with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 13, 2019 (the “Proxy Statement”). The final results regarding each proposal are set forth below.
Proposal 1: Approval of the Merger Agreement
Wesco Aircraft’s stockholders approved the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement (the “Merger Proposal”). The voting results for the Merger Proposal were as follows:
Votes For | Votes Against | Abstentions | Broker Non-Votes | |||
89,608,128 | 44,144 | 53,348 | — |
Proposal 2: Adjournment of the Special Meeting
Wesco Aircraft’s stockholders approved the proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date or dates if necessary to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes to adopt the Merger Agreement at the time of the Special Meeting (the “Adjournment Proposal”). The voting results for the Adjournment Proposal were as follows:
Votes For | Votes Against | Abstentions | Broker Non-Votes | |||
86,079,314 | 3,571,073 | 55,233 | — |
Although the Adjournment Proposal was approved, adjournment of the Special Meeting was not necessary because Wesco Aircraft’s stockholders approved the Merger Proposal.
Proposal 3: Advisory Vote on Merger-Related Named Executive Officer Compensation
Wesco Aircraft’s stockholders approved, on a non-binding, advisory basis, certain compensation that will or may become payable to the Company’s named executive officers in connection with the Merger (the “Merger-Related Compensation Proposal”). The voting results for the Merger-Related Compensation Proposal were as follows:
Votes For | Votes Against | Abstentions | Broker Non-Votes | |||
