Each director nominee received a plurality of votes cast at the Annual Meeting. With the election of all of the director nominees, Agrify currently has five directors.

With more than 97.2% of the votes cast "For," stockholders ratified GuzmanGray as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending Dec. 31, 2024.

The proposal to approve an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of the shares of the Company’s common stock at a ratio of not less than 1-for-2 and not greater than 1-for-20, with the exact ratio of, effective time of and decision to implement the reverse stock split to be determined by the Board of Directors, requiring a majority of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock, was not approved (“Reverse Stock Split Proposal”).

The proposal, as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635, to approve an amendment to the pre-funded warrants issued by the Company on May 21, 2024 to increase in the number of shares of Common Stock underlying such warrants upon the occurrence of certain equity issuances, passed. This proposal received 96.3% of the votes cast “For” the proposal.

The proposal to adjourn the Annual Meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies if there were not sufficient votes in favor of any of the forgoing proposals at the time of the annual meeting was approved with 94.2% of the votes cast “For” the proposal. However, the Company elected not to adjourn the meeting to solicit additional proxies for the Reverse Stock Split Proposal.

As previously disclosed, Agrify has until September 3, 2024 to regain compliance with the minimum $1 bid price requirement of the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company plans to seek an extension of a further 180 days, but there can be no assurances that such an extension will be granted. However, if it appears to Nasdaq staff that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if the Company does not meet the other listing standards, Nasdaq could provide notice that the Company’s common stock will become subject to delisting. In the event the Company receives notice that its common stock is being delisted, the Nasdaq Listing Rules permit the Company to appeal any such delisting determination by the Nasdaq staff to a Hearings Panel. The Company may convene an additional meeting or obtain written shareholder consent to approve the Reverse Stock Split Proposal.
