    Item 5.07
    Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

    On October 6, 2023, Chase Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation (“Chase”), convened a special meeting of shareholders (the “Special Meeting”) to consider and vote upon certain proposals related to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 21, 2023, as it may be amended from time to time (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Chase, Formulations Parent Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Parent”) and Formulations Merger Sub Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into Chase, with Chase surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”). Parent and Merger Sub are affiliates of investment funds managed by Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P., a global investment firm. As a result of the Merger, Chase will no longer be publicly held. In addition, the common stock, par value $0.10 per share, of Chase (“Chase common stock”) will be delisted from the NYSE American and deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

    There were 9,508,483 shares of Chase common stock issued and outstanding as of August 29, 2023, the record date for the Special Meeting (the “Record Date”). At the Special Meeting, the holders of 8,295,298 shares of Chase common stock were present via webcast or represented by proxy, representing approximately 87.24% of the total outstanding shares of Chase common stock as of the Record Date, which constituted a quorum. Holders of approximately 85.16% of shares of Chase common stock outstanding as of the Record Date and entitled to vote voted to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement.

    At the Special Meeting, the following proposals were voted upon (each of which is described in greater detail in the definitive proxy statement filed by Chase with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 31, 2023):

    Proposal 1 – The Merger Proposal: To approve and adopt the Merger Agreement (the “Merger Proposal”).

    Proposal 2 – The Merger Compensation Proposal: To approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, certain compensation that will or may be paid by Chase to its named executive officers that is based on or otherwise relates to the Merger.

    Proposal 3 – The Adjournment Proposal: To approve the adjournment of the Special Meeting, including if necessary, to solicit additional proxies in favor of Proposal 1 – The Merger Proposal, if there are not sufficient votes at the time of such adjournment to approve the Merger Proposal.

    A summary of the voting results for each proposal is set forth below.
