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

As previously reported, on September 22, 2022, Soligenix, Inc. (the “Company”) held its 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Meeting”).  The Meeting was partially adjourned to October 19, 2022 solely with respect to the voting on Proposal 2 — the proposal to approve an amendment to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 75,000,000 to 125,000,000.

The Meeting reconvened solely with respect to Proposal 2 on October 19, 2022.  After being called to order, the Meeting again was adjourned to provide the Company’s stockholders additional time to vote on Proposal 2.

Support for Proposal 2 has exceeded 80% of the votes cast on the proposal. However, the affirmative vote of holders of more than 50% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock is necessary for Proposal 2 to be approved.

The Meeting will resume solely with respect to Proposal 2 at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time on November 17, 2022 and will continue to be held virtually via live audio-only webcast at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/sngx2022.

Stockholders have until November 16, 2022 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time to vote their shares via the Internet at www.proxyvote.com or by following the instructions on their proxy card.  For assistance voting, stockholders may contact the Company’s proxy solicitor, Alliance Advisors, toll free at: 1-833-782-7145.

Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure

On October 20, 2022, the Company issued a press release announcing the further adjournment of the Meeting and the information for the reconvened Meeting, a copy of which is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

The information furnished in this Item 7.01 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), and shall not be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, whether or not filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the 1934 Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such document.
