Introduction.
This Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Current Report”) is being filed in connection with the completion on November 1, 2015 (the “Closing”) of the previously announced proposed business combination contemplated by the Merger Agreement entered into as of April 2, 2015 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Premier Exhibitions, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Company”), Dinoking Tech Inc., a company existing under the laws of the Province of British Columbia (“Dinoking”), 1032403 B.C. Ltd., a company existing under the laws of the Province of British Columbia and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Exchangeco”), and Mr. Daoping Bao and Ms. Nancy Brenner, the shareholders of Dinoking (the “Dinoking Shareholders”) (as described in the Merger Agreement, the “Merger” or the “Transaction”).
Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
While the Company has not yet received notice from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (the “NASDAQ”), it expects that the Company’s listing application related to the Merger will be rejected based upon its failure to reach a trading price of at least $3.00 at the time of Closing. When the Company receives such notice, it intends to appeal the decision of NASDAQ.
Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
At the special meeting of shareholders of the Company held on October 29, 2015 (the “Special Meeting”), the Company’s shareholders approved various matters related to the Transaction. At the Special Meeting, 3,037,944 shares of the Company’s common stock entitled to vote were represented in person or by proxy. These shares represented a quorum. The matters presented to shareholders for vote at the Special Meeting and the voting tabulation for each such matter were as follows:
1: A proposal to approve an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to create two classes of the Special Voting Shares to be issued to the Dinoking Shareholders.
For | Against | Abstentions | Broker Non-Votes | |
2,838,924 | 195,459 | 3,561 | 0 |
2: A proposal to approve the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock as consideration for the Merger, including the Merger Shares and the shares issuable upon the exchange of the Exchangeable Shares.
For | Against | Abstentions | Broker Non-Votes | |
2,840,233 | 193,966 | 3,745 | 0 |
3: A proposal to approve the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock potentially issuable as Future Contingent Payments.

2,838,228 | 195,620 | 4,096 | 0 |
5: A proposal to permit the Company’s board of directors to adjourn the Special Meeting, if necessary, for further solicitation of proxies if there are not sufficient votes at the originally scheduled time of the Special Meeting to approve any of the foregoing proposals.
For | Against | Abstentions | Broker Non-Votes | |
2,806,727 | 229,592 | 1,625 | 0 |
Although the fifth proposal was approved, adjournment of the Special Meeting was not necessary because there were sufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to approve all proposals.
