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

 

As set forth in the definitive proxy statement of its board of directors (the “Board”) filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on April 30, 2018 (the “Proxy Statement”), on June 18, 2018, Apollo Medical Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) held its 2018 annual meeting of stockholders at its offices located at 1668 S. Garfield Avenue, 3rd Floor, Alhambra, California 91801 (the “Annual Meeting”) for its stockholders to vote on five proposals:

 

Proposal 1 : To amend the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation to eliminate the limitation on the number of directors as provided in the Proxy Statement.

 

Proposal 2 : To amend the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation to declassify the Board as provided in the Proxy Statement.

 

Proposal 3 : To amend the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation to clarify the voting standard for removing directors as provided in the Proxy Statement.

 

Proposal 4 : To elect three directors of the Company, each to hold office as provided in the Proxy Statement.

 

Proposal 5 : To ratify the appointment of BDO USA, LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm as provided in the Proxy Statement.

 

The foregoing proposals were the only proposals to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting. For additional information regarding such proposal, see the Proxy Statement.

 

At the close of business on April 26, 2018, the record date for the Annual Meeting (the “Record Date”), there were 33,334,059 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company, issued and outstanding, each share being entitled to one vote and to be voted together as one class vote at the Annual Meeting (collectively, the “Voting Shares”).
