Item
5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
On March 11, 2022, Avinger, Inc. (the “Company”) held its previously announced Special Meeting of Stockholders (the “Special Meeting”). At the Special Meeting, the Company’s stockholders voted on the proposals listed below, each of which was described in the Company’s definitive proxy statement for the Special Meeting, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 31, 2022 (the “Proxy Statement”).
A total of 54,594,635 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, out of a total of 95,565,237 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, and a total of 7,600 shares of the Company’s Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series D Preferred Stock”), representing all of the issued and outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, each as of January 18, 2021, the record date for the Special Meeting, were present in person or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting, constituting a quorum. As previously described in the Proxy Statement, each share of Series D Preferred Stock entitled the holder to 750,000 votes on Proposal 1 at the Special Meeting; provided that such votes were required to be counted by the Company in the same proportion as the aggregate shares of common stock that were voted on such proposal. Holders of the Company’s common stock were entitled to one vote per share on each proposal.
