Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
On August 28, 2024, Cingulate Inc. (the “Company”) held a Special Meeting of Stockholders (the “Special Meeting”). At the Special Meeting, two proposals were submitted to the Company’s stockholders. All votes are represented on a pre-reverse stock split basis, as the June 28, 2024 record date of the Special Meeting preceded the August 9, 2024 effective date of the Company’s 1-for-12 reverse stock split.
The final voting results were as follows:
Proposal 1
The Company’s stockholders adopted and approved, for purposes of complying with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d), the issuance of shares of its common stock underlying certain warrants issued by the Company pursuant to that certain Inducement Letter, dated as of June 28, 2024, by and among the Company and the investors named on the signatory pages thereto, and the Engagement Letter, as amended, between the Company and H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC, dated as of December 27, 2023, in an amount equal to or in excess of 20% of its common stock outstanding immediately prior the issuance of such warrants (the “Issuance Proposal”).
| For | Against | Abstain | Broker Non-Votes | |||
| 2,277,270 | 189,572 | 118,269 | 0 |
Proposal 2
The Company’s stockholders approved the adjournment of the Special Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary or appropriate, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the Issuance Proposal. Adjournment of the Special Meeting was deemed not necessary, because there were sufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to approve the Issuance Proposal.
