Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
On March 23, 2021, Sportsman’s Warehouse Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Sportsman’s Warehouse”), held a special meeting of the stockholders of Sportsman’s Warehouse virtually via live audiocast on the Internet (the “Special Meeting”). As of the close of business on January 29, 2021, the record date for the Special Meeting, there were a total of 43,648,226 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), outstanding and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. At the Special Meeting, 29,511,661 shares of Common Stock were present or represented by proxy, constituting a quorum. Sportsman’s Warehouse’s stockholders voted on two proposals, each of which was approved by the requisite vote of Sportsman’s Warehouse’s stockholders. Descriptions of the proposals and the final voting results are set forth below.
Proposal 1: A proposal to adopt and approve the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated December 21, 2020, by and among Great Outdoors Group, LLC (“Great Outdoors Group”), Phoenix Merger Sub I, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Great Outdoors Group (“Merger Sub”), and Sportsman’s Warehouse, as amended from time to time (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will be merged with and into Sportsman’s Warehouse (the “Merger”), with Sportsman’s Warehouse continuing as the surviving corporation in the Merger and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Great Outdoors Group (the “Merger Proposal”).
For | Against | Abstain |
28,334,696 | 1,059,424 | 117,541 |
Proposal 2: A non-binding, advisory proposal to approve specified compensation that may be paid or may become payable to Sportsman’s Warehouse’s named executive officers based on or otherwise relating to the Merger.
For | Against | Abstain |
26,865,955 | 2,431,561 | 214,145 |
Because there were sufficient votes at the Special Meeting to adopt and approve the Merger Agreement, stockholders of Sportsman’s Warehouse were not asked to vote with respect to a proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting from time to time to a later date or time, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies.
The approval of the Merger Proposal by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock entitled to vote thereon satisfies one of the conditions to the obligations of Sportsman’s Warehouse and Great Outdoors Group to consummate the Merger. The consummation of the Merger remains subject to other conditions, including the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period (and any extensions thereof) relating to the Merger under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended. Assuming each of the conditions to the consummation of the Merger are satisfied or waived in a timely manner, Sportsman’s Warehouse continues to expect to complete the Merger in the second half of calendar year 2021.
