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

 

On December 16, 2015, CIFC Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”). At the Special Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved a proposal to merge CIFC Merger Corp., a Delaware corporation and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Corp.”), with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving entity (the “Merger”), pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 11, 2015 (the “Merger Agreement”), among the Company, CIFC LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“CIFC LLC”), and Merger Corp.  In the Merger, each share of common stock of the Company issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger will be converted into the right to receive one common share representing a limited liability company interest in CIFC LLC.

 

The proposal is described in detail in the proxy statement pertaining to the Special Meeting previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  As noted in the proxy statement, as a result of the Merger, the Company’s top-level form of organization will change from a corporation to a limited liability company.  The Company expects that the Merger will be effective as of December 31, 2015.

 

The number of votes cast for or against, and the total number of withheld and total broker non-votes with respect to the Merger, is set forth below:
