INTRODUCTORY NOTE
    
On September 29, 2016, Active Power, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), Langley Holdings plc, a United Kingdom public limited company, and Piller USA, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Langley (the “Buyer”) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”). The Purchase Agreement provides, among other things and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, that the Buyer will purchase from the Company substantially all of the assets and operations of the Company, for a nominal purchase price plus the assumption of all indebtedness, including bank debt, liabilities and customer, employee and purchase commitments going forward (the “Disposition”).
Section 5— Corporate Governance and Management

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

On November 16, 2016, the Company held a special meeting of its stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) to consider certain proposals related to the Purchase Agreement and a stockholders rights plan.

As of October 10, 2016, the record date for the Special Meeting, there were 23,125,154 shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding, each of which was entitled to one vote for each proposal at the Special Meeting. At the Special Meeting, a total of 12,546,297 shares of the Company’s common stock, representing approximately 54.25 percent of outstanding shares entitled to vote, were present in person or by proxy, constituting a quorum to conduct business.

At the Special Meeting, the following proposals were considered:

(1)
The approval of the Disposition;

(2)
The ratification of a stockholders rights plan; and

(3)
The approval of the adjournment of the Special Meeting to another date and place if necessary or appropriate to solicit additional votes if there were insufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to approve the Dissolution.

All of the proposals were approved by the requisite vote of the Company’s stockholders. The final voting results for each proposal are described below. For more information on each of these proposals, see the Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A for the Special Meeting, filed by the Company with the SEC on October 17, 2016.
