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

 

On January 30, 2019, SendGrid, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“SendGrid”), held a special meeting of its stockholders (the “Special Meeting”). SendGrid’s stockholders voted on three proposals at the Special Meeting, each of which is described in more detail in the definitive joint proxy statement/prospectus filed by SendGrid and Twilio Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Twilio”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 18, 2018.

 

SendGrid’s stockholders were entitled to one vote for each share of common stock, $0.001 par value per share (each, a “Share”), held as of the close of business on December 13, 2018 (the “Record Date”). At the close of business on the Record Date, there were 47,659,204 Shares eligible to vote at the Special Meeting. Present at the Special Meeting or by proxy were holders of 37,620,747 Shares, representing 78.9% of the outstanding Shares eligible to vote at the Special Meeting, and constituting a quorum. The final results with respect to each such proposal are set forth below.

 

Proposal 1 - To adopt the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated October 15, 2018, among SendGrid, Twilio and Topaz Merger Subsidiary, Inc., as amended on December 13, 2018 and as such agreement may be further amended from time to time (the “Merger Agreement”):
