Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

 

On June 23, 2025, Azitra, Inc. (the “Company”), convened its 2025 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). Proxies had been submitted by stockholders representing over one-third of the shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding and entitled to vote, which constituted a quorum. At the Annual Meeting, the Company’s stockholders voted on three proposals, each of which is described in more detail in the proxy statement for the Annual Meeting (the “Proxy Statement”). As described in more detail below, the polls were left open on an additional proposal in order to allow additional time for the stockholders to vote on such proposal.

 

Proposal No. 1. Stockholders approved the election of the four director nominees named in the Proxy Statement to serve as members of the Board of Directors of the Company until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified. The director nominees named in the Proxy Statement for election to our Board of Directors are the following individuals: Francisco D. Salva, Travis Whitfill, Barbara Ryan and John Schroer, with shares voted as follows:

Proposal No. 4. Stockholders approved, for purposes of complying with NYSE American Rule 713(a), of the issuance of more than 19.99% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock, including shares of common stock underlying warrants, pursuant to the purchase agreement with Alumni Capital LP, with shares voted as follows:

 

Votes For  Votes Against  Abstentions  Broker Non-Votes
1,204,236  155,171  3,970  7,225,742

 

Stockholders did not vote on Proposal No. 2 (Adoption of an amendment to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (as amended) to increase the authorized number of shares of the Company’s common stock from 100,000,000 shares to 200,000,000 shares) at the Annual Meeting. On June 18, 2025, the Company filed a supplement to the Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting, which updated the disclosure included in the Proxy Statement relating to the applicable voting standard on Proposal No. 2. Accordingly, the Annual Meeting was adjourned in order to allow additional time for the stockholders to vote on Proposal No. 2.

 

The reconvened Annual Meeting (the “Reconvened Annual Meeting”) will be held virtually on July 3, 2025 at 11:00 a.m., Eastern Time. Stockholders can attend and participate, vote and submit a question at the Reconvened Annual Meeting via the same link previously provided upon registration for the Annual Meeting. Valid proxies submitted prior to the Annual Meeting will continue to be valid for the Reconvened Annual Meeting, unless properly changed or revoked prior to votes being taken at the Reconvened Annual Meeting. The record date of May 28, 2025 will remain the same for the Reconvened Annual Meeting. During the period of the adjournment, the polls for Proposal No. 2 will remain open.

 

Additional Information and Where to Find It

 

In connection with the Annual Meeting, the Company filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a definitive proxy statement of which was mailed to the Company’s stockholders as of the record date for the Annual Meeting. STOCKHOLDERS AND OTHER INTERESTED PERSONS ARE ADVISED TO READ THE DEFINITIVE PROXY STATEMENT, AS WELL AS ALL AMENDMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTS THERETO (INCLUDING THE AMENDMENT FILED WITH THE SEC ON JUNE 18, 2025), BECAUSE IT CONTAINS IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE MATTERS BEFORE THE STOCKHOLDERS AT THE ANNUAL MEETING. The Company’s stockholders may also obtain copies of the Proxy Statement, the Annual Report to stockholders and all other relevant documents filed or that will be filed with the SEC in connection with the Annual Meeting, without charge, once available, at the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov or by directing a request to: Azitra, Inc., 21 Business Park Drive, Branford, Connecticut 06405.

 

Participants in the Solicitation

 

The Company and certain of its respective directors, executive officers, and other members of management and employees may be deemed participants in the solicitation of proxies of the Company’s stockholders in connection with the Annual Meeting. STOCKHOLDERS AND OTHER INTERESTED PERSONS MAY OBTAIN, WITHOUT CHARGE, MORE DETAILED INFORMATION REGARDING THE DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS OF THE COMPANY IN ITS ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024, WHICH WAS FILED WITH THE SEC ON FEBRUARY 24, 2025.
