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

 

Our 2019 annual meeting of stockholders was held on December 30, 2019. At the meeting our stockholders elected five directors to serve until the next annual meeting and until their successors are duly elected and qualified. Our stockholders also ratified the Board of Directors’ selection of OUM & Co. LLP as our independent registered public accountants to audit our financial statements for the 2019 fiscal year.

 

There were 37,649,000 shares of AgeX common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, outstanding and eligible to vote at the annual meeting as of the close of business on November 20, 2019, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting. There were 32,299,704 shares, or 85.79% of the voting power, represented at the meeting, either in person or by proxy. The following tables show the votes cast by our stockholders and any abstentions with respect to the matters presented to stockholders for a vote at the meeting. Information is also provided as to broker non-votes. A “broker non-vote” occurs when a stockholder whose shares are held in “street name” in a brokerage account or similar account does not instruct the stockholder’s broker or other nominee in whose name the shares are registered how to vote on a matter as to which brokers and nominees are not permitted to vote without instructions from their client..
