ITEM 5.07 SUBMISSION OF A MATTER TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
On July 28, 2022, Recruiter.com Group, Inc. (the “Company”) held its 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). The record date for stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting was May 31, 2022 (the “Record Date”). As of the Record Date, there were (i) 14,887,401 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”) of the Company and (ii) 86,000 shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”) of the Company, outstanding. Each share of the Company’s Common Stock represents one vote that could be voted on each matter that came before the Annual Meeting. The holders of Preferred Stock were entitled to vote on all matters submitted to stockholders of the Company and were entitled to the number of votes for each share of Preferred Stock owned as of the Record Date equal to the number of shares of Common Stock such shares of Preferred Stock were convertible into at such time, subject to the limitation on the beneficial ownership set forth in the Certificates of Designation of Preferred Stock of 4.99% or 9.99%, to the extent the 4.99% limitation had been waived by the holder. As of the Record Date, the outstanding Preferred Stock equaled 285,209 votes. As of the Record Date, there were a total of 15,172,610 votes that were entitled to be voted on each matter that may come before the Annual Meeting.
At the Annual Meeting, no shares of Preferred Stock and 7,781,856 shares of Common Stock were represented and voted, in person or by proxy, constituting a quorum for the Annual Meeting (the 7,781,856 votes represented equaled approximately 51.3% of the outstanding possible votes).
At the Annual Meeting, five proposals were submitted to the Company’s stockholders. The proposals are described in more detail in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on June 15, 2022. The final voting results were as follows:
