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

 

On March 11, 2021, InterPrivate Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) held a special meeting in lieu of the 2021 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) in connection with the proposed business combination (the “Business Combination”) of the Company, WLLY Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation and newly formed, wholly-owned direct subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and Aeva, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Aeva”), as described in the proxy statement/prospectus/consent solicitation statement filed by the Company with the SEC on February 16, 2021 (the “Proxy Statement”). Present at the Special Meeting were holders of 19,439,803 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) in person or by proxy, representing 62.597% of the voting power of the Common Stock as of January 25, 2021, the record date for the Special Meeting (the “Record Date”), and constituting a quorum for the transaction of business. As of the Record Date, there were 31,055,500 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding.

 

At the Special Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Amendment Proposal, each of the Governance Proposals (on a non-binding advisory basis), the election of each director nominee pursuant to the Election of Directors Proposal, the Incentive Award Plan Proposal, and the NYSE Proposal, in each case as defined and described in greater detail in the Proxy Statement.

 

The approval of the Business Combination Proposal, Governance Proposals, Incentive Award Plan Proposal, NYSE Proposal and Adjournment Proposal required the affirmative vote in person (which would include presence at a virtual meeting) or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock present and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. The approval of the Charter Amendment Proposal required the affirmative vote in person (which would include presence at a virtual meeting) or by proxy of the holders of a majority of all then outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote thereon at the Special Meeting. The approval of the election of each director nominee pursuant to the Election of Directors Proposal required the affirmative vote of the holders of a plurality of the outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote and actually cast thereon at the Special Meeting. The Adjournment Proposal, as defined and described in greater detail in the Proxy Statement, was not presented to the Company’s stockholders as the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Amendment Proposal, each of the Governance Proposals, the election of each director nominee pursuant to the Election of Directors Proposal, the Incentive Award Plan Proposal, and the NYSE Proposal each received a sufficient number of votes for approval.
