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

On August 4, 2022, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) to consider and vote on whether to adopt the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated May 11, 2022, by and among the Company, Switch, Ltd., a Nevada limited liability company (“Company Ltd.”), Sunshine Merger Sub, Ltd., a Nevada limited liability company and a direct and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Company Merger Sub”), Sunshine Bidco Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and Sunshine Parent Merger Sub Inc., a Nevada corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Parent Merger Sub”), pursuant to which, among other matters and on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Parent Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation and Company Merger Sub will be merged with and into Company Ltd., with Company Ltd. continuing as the surviving limited liability company.

As of June 15, 2022, the record date of the Special Meeting, there were 150,767,439 shares of Class A common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (“Company Class A Common Stock”), and 94,131,279 shares of Class B common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (“Company Class B Common Stock”), outstanding and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting.
