Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
On July 6, 2022, Natus Medical Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (“Natus” or the “Company”), convened a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) to consider and vote upon certain proposals related to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of April 17, 2022, by and among the Company, Prince Parent Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and Prince Mergerco Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), providing for, among other things, the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. Upon completion of the Merger, the Company will no longer be publicly held, and the Company’s common stock will be delisted from the Nasdaq Global Select Market and deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
There were 34,582,882 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Natus (the “Natus common stock”), issued and outstanding as of May 31, 2022, the record date for the Special Meeting (the “Record Date”). At the Special Meeting, the holders of 27,694,103 shares of Natus common stock were present via webcast or represented by proxy, representing approximately 80.08% of the total outstanding shares of Natus common stock as of the Record Date, which constituted a quorum.
At the Special Meeting, the following proposals were voted upon (each of which is described in greater detail in the definitive proxy statement filed by Natus with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 2, 2022):
Proposal 1 – Merger Proposal: To approve and adopt the Merger Agreement, dated April 17, 2022.
Proposal 2 – Adjournment Proposal: To approve the adjournment of the Special Meeting from time to time if necessary or appropriate, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, including to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes to adopt Proposal 1.
Proposal 3 – Merger Compensation Proposal: To approve, by non-binding, advisory vote, certain compensation that will or may become payable by Natus to its named executive officers in connection with the Merger.
Each of Proposal 1 and Proposal 2 was approved by the requisite vote of Natus’ stockholders. Although Proposal 2 was approved, the adjournment of the Special Meeting was not necessary because Natus’ stockholders approved Proposal 1. Natus’ stockholders did not approve, on a non-binding, advisory basis, Proposal 3. A summary of the voting results for each proposal is set forth below.
Proposal 1 – Merger Proposal

The Merger is expected to close in the third quarter of 2022, subject to customary closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory approvals. Natus does not intend to disclose developments with respect to regulatory approvals unless and until its Board of Directors determines such disclosure is appropriate or is otherwise required.
