Item 5.07Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

 

On October 23, 2024, Zura Bio Limited (the “Company”) held its Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”), at which a quorum was present. At the Annual Meeting, the shareholders of the Company voted on the following three proposals: (1) the election, by ordinary resolution, of the nine (9) directors listed below (the "Director Nominees") to the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) to hold office until the 2025 annual general meeting of shareholders or until their respective successors have been elected and qualified, or until their earlier death, resignation or removal (“Proposal 1”); (2) the ratification, by ordinary resolution, of the re-appointment by the Audit Committee of the Board of WithumSmith+Brown, PC as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 (“Proposal 2”); and (3) the approval, by ordinary resolution, of the adjournment of the Annual Meeting by the chairman thereof to a later date or dates, if necessary, for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies in favor of the foregoing proposals, in the event the Company does not receive the requisite shareholder votes to approve the foregoing proposals (“Proposal 3”). Each of these proposals is described in greater detail in the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 13, 2024. The final results of the voting on each proposal are set forth below.

 

Proposal 1 - Election of Directors.

 

The Company’s shareholders elected the Director Nominees as directors of the Company, each to hold office until the 2025 annual general meeting of shareholders or until their respective successors have been elected and qualified, or until their earlier death, resignation or removal. The votes cast were as follows:

For   Against   Abstain 
 49,154,764    9,599    24,499 

 

Proposal 3 – Adjournment Proposal.

 

Proposal 3 was to approve an adjournment of the Annual Meeting to a later date to solicit additional proxies in favor of the foregoing proposals if there were insufficient votes at the time of the Annual Meeting to approve Proposals 1 and 2.
