On June 29, 2017, Capitol Acquisition Corp. III (the “Capitol”) held an annual meeting of its stockholders (the “Meeting”). At the Meeting, Capitol’s stockholders considered the following proposals:

1.       A proposal to approve the business combination between Capitol and Canyon Holdings S.a r.l. (“Cision”), including (a) the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 19, 2017, as amended (“Merger Agreement”), between Capitol, Capitol Acquisition Holding Company Ltd. (“Holdings”), Capitol Acquisition Merger Sub, Inc., Cision and Canyon Holdings (Cayman) L.P., and (b) the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and related Sponsor Support Agreement (including the future issuance of additional ordinary shares and warrants thereunder under certain circumstances). The following is a tabulation of the votes with respect to this proposal, which was approved by the Company’s stockholders:

This represented approximately 99.1% of the voted shares voting in favor of the proposal. In connection with this vote, the holders of 490,078 shares of Capitol’s common stock properly exercised their right to convert their shares into cash at a conversion price of approximately $10.04 per share, for an aggregate conversion amount of $4,920,236.10.

2.       Proposals to approve the following material differences between the constitutional documents of Holdings that will be in effect upon the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and Capitol’s current amended and restated certificate of incorporation:

(i)       The name of the new public entity will be “Cision Ltd.” as opposed to “Capitol Acquisition Corp. III”. The following is a tabulation of the votes with respect to this proposal, which was approved by Capitol’s stockholders:

(ii)       Holdings will have 480,000,000 authorized ordinary shares and 20,000,000 authorized preferred shares, as opposed to Capitol having 120,000,000 authorized shares of common stock and 1,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock. The following is a tabulation of the votes with respect to this proposal, which was approved by Capitol’s stockholders:

(iii)       Holdings’ constitutional documents do not include the various provisions applicable only to special purpose acquisition corporations that Capitol’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation contains (such as the obligation to dissolve and liquidate if a business combination is not consummated in a certain period of time). The following is a tabulation of the votes with respect to this proposal, which was approved by Capitol’s stockholders:

3.       A proposal to elect seven directors who, upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, will be the directors of Holdings, in the classes set forth below. The following is a tabulation of the votes with respect to each director elected at the Meeting:

4.       A proposal to approve the 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan of Holdings. The following is a tabulation of the votes with respect to this proposal, which was approved by Capitol’s stockholders:
