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

On June 15, 2021, PAVmed Inc. (the “Company”) held its 2021 annual meeting of stockholders (the “2021 Annual Meeting”). Stockholders representing approximately 65.6% of the shares outstanding and entitled to vote were present in person or by proxy. At the 2021 Annual Meeting, the stockholders elected each of management’s nominees for director and approved each of the other matters considered. A description of the matters considered by the stockholders and a tally of the votes on each such matter are set forth below.

 

1. The election of two Class B directors, to hold office until the third succeeding annual meeting and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified.

 

The Company’s board of directors is divided into three classes, Class A, Class B and Class C. There are three directors in Class B, James L. Cox, M.D., Debra J. White and David Weild IV, whose terms expired at the 2021 Annual Meeting, two directors in Class C, Lishan Aklog, M.D. and Michael J. Glennon, whose terms expire at the 2022 annual meeting of stockholders, and two directors in Class A, Ronald M. Sparks and Tim Baxter, whose terms expired at the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders. Upon the expiration of Mr. Weild’s term, the size of Class B was reduced to two members and the size of the board was reduced to six members. Management nominated Dr. Cox and Ms. White for re-election as Class B directors.

 

Each of management’s nominees for director was elected, as follows:
