Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders. |
On February 5, 2024, Vroom, Inc. (the “Company”) held a Special Meeting of Stockholders (the “Meeting”). A total of 85,907,587 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), were present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting, representing approximately 59.94 percent of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock as of the December 22, 2023 record date. The following are the voting results for the proposals considered and voted upon at the Meeting, each of which were described in the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 2, 2024.
Item 1 — To approve amendments to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, to effect a reverse stock split of the Common Stock at a ratio ranging from any whole number between 1-for-35 and 1-for-80, as determined by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) in its discretion, subject to the Board’s authority to abandon such amendments.

Item 8.01 |
Other Events. |
As disclosed above, at the Meeting, the stockholders of the Company approved a reverse stock split of all outstanding shares of the Common Stock, at a ratio ranging from any whole number between 1-for-35 and 1-for-80, with the exact ratio as determined by the Board in its discretion, subject to the Board’s authority to abandon such amendments. On February 5, 2024, the Board approved a reverse stock split of the Common Stock at a final ratio of 1-for-80 (the “Reverse Stock Split”) and abandoned all other amendments. The Reverse Stock Split is expected to become effective at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on February 13, 2024, following the filing of a Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Common Stock is expected to commence trading on a split-adjusted basis when the markets open on February 14, 2024, under the existing trading symbol “VRM.” The new CUSIP number for the Common Stock following the Reverse Stock Split will be 92918V 208.
No fractional shares will be issued if, as a result of the Reverse Stock Split, a stockholder would otherwise become entitled to a fractional share because the number of shares of Common Stock they hold before the Reverse Stock Split is not evenly divisible by the split ratio. Instead, each stockholder will be entitled to receive a cash payment in lieu of such fractional share. The cash payment to be paid will be equal to the fraction of a share to which such stockholder would otherwise be entitled multiplied by the closing price per share as reported by The Nasdaq Global Select Market (as adjusted to give effect to the Reverse Stock Split) on February 13, 2024.
