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

 

Superconductor Technologies Inc. (the "Company" or "our") held its 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting") on June 7, 2018. The following items of business were considered at the Annual Meeting: (1) the election of one Class 2 director; (2) the ratification of the selection of Marcum LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018; (3) the approval of an amendment to the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the "Certificate of Incorporation"), to effect a reverse stock split of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock at a ratio of not less than 1:4 and not greater than 1:10 (the "Reverse Stock Split"), with the board of directors (the "Board") having the discretion to determine whether or not the Reverse Stock Split is to be effected at any time prior to the first anniversary date of the Annual Meeting and with the exact ratio of any reverse stock split to be set within the range as determined by the board in its discretion; (4) the approval, contingent upon approval of the Reverse Stock Split, of an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to reduce the number of shares of our authorized common stock in proportion to the percentage decrease in the number of outstanding shares of common stock resulting from the Reverse Stock Split, or by such other ratio determined by our board of directors in its discretion; and (5) the transaction of any other business that may properly come before the Annual Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

 

The number of shares of common stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting was 12,323,798 shares. The number of shares of common stock present or represented by valid proxy at the annual meeting was 9,529,881 shares. The number of votes cast for and against, and the number of abstentions and broker non-votes with respect to the matters voted upon at the Annual Meeting are set forth below:

Proposal 3 and 4: Relating to the Reverse Stock Split.

 

At the time of the Annual Meeting, there were insufficient votes to pass proposal 3 to authorize the Reverse Stock Split. Given the importance of proposal 3 and the related proposal 4, which proposal is contingent upon approval of proposal 3, the Annual Meeting was adjourned to allow additional time for stockholders to submit their votes on proposal 3 and proposal 4. The meeting will reconvene at 11:00 a.m. Central Daylight Time on June 15, 2018 at the headquarters of the Company, 9101 Wall Street, Austin, Texas 78754. During the period of adjournment, the Company will continue to accept stockholder votes on proposals 3 and 4.
