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

 

A special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) of Web.com Group, Inc. (“Web.com”) was held on October 10, 2018. At the Special Meeting, Web.com’s stockholders, upon the unanimous recommendation of the board of directors of Web.com: (a) voted in favor of the adoption of the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 5, 2018 (the “Amended and Restated Merger Agreement”), by and between Web.com, Parker Private Holdings II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Parent”) and Parker Private Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, pursuant to which Merger Sub is to be merged with and into Web.com (the “Merger”), with Web.com surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, and thereby approved the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement and the Merger; and (b) voted, on an advisory basis, against the proposal to approve the Merger-related compensation for Web.com’s named executive officers. No vote was taken on the third proposal, the proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting to solicit additional proxies to vote in favor of the adoption and approval of the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement, because there were sufficient votes at the Special Meeting to adopt and approve the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement.

 

Each proposal is described in detail in Web.com’s definitive proxy statement, dated September 5, 2018, which was filed with the SEC on September 5, 2018, and first mailed to Web.com’s stockholders on September 7, 2018. Stockholders owning a total of 39,635,526 shares voted at the Special Meeting, representing approximately 78.9% of the shares of Web.com Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the record date for the Special Meeting.

 

The voting results for each item of business voted upon at the Special Meeting were as follows:
