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

At a special meeting of stockholders of Marrone Bio Innovations, Inc. (the “Company”) held on July 8, 2022 (the “2022 Special Meeting”), the Company’s stockholders approved (i) a proposal to adopt the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 16, 2022 (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Bioceres Crop Solutions Corp., BCS Merger Sub, Inc., and the Company and (ii) a proposal to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, certain compensation that may be paid or become payable to the Company’s named executives in connection with the merger contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

On May 31, 2022, the record date for stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the 2022 Special Meeting, 182,378,219 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding. The holders of 127,130,867 shares were present at the 2022 Special Meeting either virtually or by proxy, constituting a quorum of 69.7%. Our stockholders considered and voted on the following proposals at the 2022 Special Meeting:

(i)	Our stockholders approved the adoption of the Merger Agreement.

The results of the voting were as follows:

VOTES FOR:			126,741,783
VOTES AGAINST:			327,863
VOTES ABSTAINED:			61,221

(ii)	Our stockholders approved by non-binding advisory vote the merger-related named executive officer compensation.

The results of the voting were as follows:

VOTES FOR:			125,284,456
VOTES AGAINST:			918,163
VOTES ABSTAINED:			928,248

Since there were sufficient votes represented at the special meeting to adopt the Merger Agreement, the proposal to adjourn the special meeting to solicit additional proxies was moot and therefore not presented or voted on.
