Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
On April 16, 2025, NovaBay Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) held its 2025 Special Meeting of Stockholders (the “Special Meeting”), whereby the Company’s stockholders were asked to consider two (2) proposals, with the first proposal (“Proposal One”) providing for stockholders to approve the liquidation and dissolution of the Company under Delaware law pursuant to a Plan of Complete Liquidation and Dissolution of the Company and the second proposal (“Proposal Two”) providing the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors”) with discretionary authority to adjourn the Special Meeting from time to time to establish a quorum or to permit further solicitation of proxies if there were not sufficient votes in favor of either of the proposals presented at the Special Meeting. Each of Proposal One and Proposal Two are described in more detail in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 19, 2025. There were 5,816,204 outstanding shares of Company common stock entitled to vote as of the record date and 3,123,502 shares were present in person or by proxy at the Special Meeting, representing approximately fifty-four percent (54%) of the shares outstanding and entitled to vote. The voting results with respect to both proposals, as certified by the inspector of election for the Special Meeting, are presented below.
