On November 8, 2016, Sysorex Global (the “Company”) held its 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”).  At the Annual Meeting, the stockholders voted to: (1) elect five nominee directors to the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”); (2) authorize an amendment to the Company’s Restated Articles of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”), at a ratio between 1-for-5 and 1-for-15, to be determined at the discretion of the Board, for the purpose of complying with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), subject to the Board’s discretion to abandon the amendment (the “Reverse Split Proposal”); (3) approve, in accordance with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635(d), the potential issuance in excess of 20% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock in connection with the conversion of securities issued to Hillair Capital Investment L.P. and any resulting change of control, as defined by NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635(b) (the “20% Issuance Proposal”); (4) ratify the appointment of Marcum LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016; (5) approve the adjournment of the Annual Meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies if there are not sufficient votes at the time of the meeting to approve the Reverse Split Proposal and/or the 20% Issuance Proposal. The proposals were approved based on the voting results as follows:

 

Proposal 1: Election of Directors.

With respect to the election of directors, the nominees will be elected by a majority of the votes cast by the holders of shares of Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote in the election. Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted for purposes of establishing a quorum but do not have any effect on the election of the nominees. Accordingly, Mr. Ali, Mr. Oppenheim, Mr. Irfan and Mr. Khader were elected as directors to serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders, and Mr. Steding was not elected as a director.

 

Proposal 2: Authorize an amendment to the Company’s Restated Articles of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, at a ratio between 1-for-5 and 1-for-15, to be determined at the discretion of the Board, for the purpose of complying with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), subject to the Board’s discretion to abandon the amendment.
