CombiMatrix Corporation (the “Company”) held a special meeting of its stockholders on November 10, 2017 (the “Special Meeting”). At the Special Meeting, 1,844,851 shares of the Company’s common stock, or approximately 62.8% of the outstanding common stock entitled to vote, were represented by proxy or in person.

At the Special Meeting, the following proposals, each of which is described in detail in the Company’s proxy statement/prospectus included in the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (Reg. No. 333-220447), declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 5, 2017, were voted upon and approved according to the following final voting results:

To approve and adopt the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated as of July 31, 2017 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Invitae Corporation (“Invitae”), Coronado Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”) and the Company, as such agreement may be amended from time to time, and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company, with the Company surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Invitae (the “Merger”):

To approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, specified compensation that may be paid or become payable to the Company’s named executive officers in connection with the Merger, as described in the proxy statement:

The proposal to approve the possible adjournment of the special meeting, including, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies in the event that there are not sufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to approve the foregoing proposals, was not tabulated because there were sufficient votes to approve the other two proposals.

Completion of the proposed Merger remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the other closing conditions specified in the Merger Agreement.

On November 10, 2017, the Company issued a press release announcing that it received stockholder approval for the previously announced Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference into this Item 8.01.
