ITEM 5.07 SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.

 

On October 2, 2019, the stockholders (the “Stockholders”) of Cardax, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) holding a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) as of September 30, 2019 (the “Record Date”), executed a written consent (the “Written Consent”) in lieu of a meeting of the Stockholders. Pursuant to the Written Consent, the Stockholders:

 

  authorized a reverse stock split (“Reverse Stock Split”) of the Common Stock within the range that is considered appropriate and necessary for the Common Stock to have a targeted trading price per share that meets the listing requirements of The Nasdaq Capital Market, at a minimum, and such other price determined appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”); and authorized the Board, in its sole discretion, to determine the final ratio of shares for such reverse stock split on the effective date and to file a certificate of amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation in connection with the reverse stock split;
     
  elected the following six directors: George W. Bickerstaff, III, Michele Galen, Makarand Jawadekar, Ph.D., Terence A. Kelly, Ph.D., Elona Kogan, and David G. Watumull, as all of the members of the Board;
     
  ratified the appointment of KBL, LLP as the Company’s independent public accountant for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019; and
     
  approved, on an advisory basis, the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers.

 

The Reverse Stock Split has been authorized and will be effective on such date that the Board takes further action and the appropriate amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation is duly filed in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

 

Such matters were authorized by the holders of 73,684,557 votes or 54% of the outstanding voting power.

 

The Written Consent was adopted in accordance with the terms of the applicable law and the charter documents of the Company.
