On April 1, 2024, Arrowroot Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Arrowroot”), held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) in lieu of the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders in connection with the proposed business combination by and among the Arrowrrot, ARAC Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Arrowrrot (“Merger Sub”), and iLearningEngines, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“iLearningEngines”), as described in Arrowroot’s proxy statement/prospectus filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as amended or supplemented (the “Proxy Statement”). Each proposal (individually a “Proposal” and, collectively, the “Proposals”) voted upon at the Special Meeting and the final voting results are indicated below. Each such Proposal is described in detail in the Proxy Statement.
As of the close of business on March 13, 2024, the record date of the Special Meeting, there were 546,565 shares of Arrowroot’s Class A Common Stock (“Class A Common Stock”) issued and outstanding, 7,187,500 shares of Arrowroot’s Class B Common Stock (“Class B Common Stock”) issued and outstanding, and in aggregate, 7,731,065 shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding. Holders of 491,452 shares of the Class A Common Stock, 7,027,500 shares of the Class B Common Stock and in aggregate, 7,518,952 shares of the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock of Arrowroot held of record as of the record date were present in person or by proxy, representing approximately 97% of the voting power of Arrowroot’s shares of common stock as of the record date for the Special Meeting, and constituting a quorum for the transaction of business.
