Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
On August 23, 2024, GRI Bio, Inc. (the “Company”) convened and then adjourned its 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). The Company previously filed a Definitive Proxy Statement, dated August 2, 2024, as amended and supplemented to date (as amended and supplemented, the “Proxy Statement”). A total of 741,914 shares of the Company’s common stock were entitled to vote on June 27, 2024, the record date for the Annual Meeting, and 256,566 shares of common stock, or approximately 34.58% of the shares entitled to vote, were present or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting. Per the Company’s amended and restated bylaws, a quorum requires the presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of one-third of the voting power of the stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. As a result, there was a quorum present for the Annual Meeting. The only matter submitted to a vote of stockholders at the Annual Meeting was the proposal regarding adjournment of the Annual Meeting as further described in Proxy Statement, and the voting results for this proposal are set forth below.
After the vote on this adjournment proposal, the Company adjourned the Annual Meeting to Friday, September 6, 2024 at 11:00 a.m., Eastern Time, virtually at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/GRI2024 to allow for the solicitation of additional proxies to adopt the remaining proposals set forth in the Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting.
Adjournment Proposal
The proposal to approve any postponement or adjournment of the Annual Meeting, from time to time, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies if there were not sufficient votes at the time of the Annual Meeting to adopt the proposals set forth in the proxy statement or to establish a quorum was approved as follows:
