Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
At a special meeting of the shareholders of Bravo Brio Restaurant Group, Inc. (the “Company”), held on May 22, 2018, the shareholders voted to approve the proposal to approve and adopt the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 7, 2018 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Bugatti Parent, Inc. and Bugatti Merger Sub, Inc., and the proposal to approve, on a non-binding, advisory basis, the compensation that will or may become payable to the Company’s named executive officers in connection with the consummation of the merger contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
As of the close of business on April 18, 2018, the record date for the special meeting, there were 15,295,015 common shares outstanding and entitled to vote at the special meeting. Each common share was entitled to one vote. The holders of 10,744,018 common shares were present at the special meeting, either in person or represented by proxy, constituting a quorum. Each of the proposals is described in detail in the Company’s definitive proxy statement, dated April 18, 2018, which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 18, 2018, and first mailed to the Company’s shareholders on or about April 20, 2018. Set forth below are the final voting results of each of the proposals.
Proposal 1. Approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement.
For | Against | Abstain | ||
9,291,345 | 1,427,624 | 25,049 | ||
There were no broker non-votes with respect to this proposal.
Proposal 2. Non-binding advisory vote to approve merger-related compensation to our named executive officers.
For | Against | Abstain | ||
8,380,303 | 1,774,261 | 589,454 | ||
There were no broker non-votes with respect to this proposal.
Since there were sufficient votes represented at the special meeting to approve the proposal to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement, the proposal to adjourn the special meeting to permit the further solicitation of proxies to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement was moot.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On May 22, 2018, the Company issued a press release announcing that shareholders voted to approve the Merger Agreement. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.
