As of October 30, 2023, the record date for the Special Meeting, there were 5,494,554 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote. There were 4,610,347 shares of common stock represented by proxy at the Special Meeting. The final voting results for each proposal submitted to the stockholders of the Company at the Special Meeting are included below.
Each of the proposals described below was approved by the Company’s stockholders.
Proposal 1 – The Business Combination Proposal – to adopt the Unit Purchase Agreement, dated May 14, 2023 (as amended on August 22, 2023 and as further amended on November 24, 2023, the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company, Global Gas Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Holdings”), Global Hydrogen Energy LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Global Hydrogen”), William Bennett Nance, Jr., an individual (“W.
