EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

This current report on Form 8-K/A (the “Amendment”) amends the current report on Form 8-K filed on June 22, 2022 by Biostage, Inc.. or the Company, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Original Form 8-K”). The Original Form 8-K reported the final voting results of the Company's 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on June 22, 2022 (the “2022 Annual Meeting”). The sole purpose of this Amendment is to disclose the Company's decision regarding how frequently it will conduct future stockholder advisory votes to approve the compensation of the Company's named executive officers. No other changes have been made to the Original Form 8-K.

 

Item 5.07

Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

As previously reported in the Original Form 8-K, in a non-binding advisory vote on the frequency of future say on pay votes held at the 2022 Annual Meeting, 7,539,731 shares voted for one year, 1,684 shares voted for two years, 28,038 shares voted for three years, 110,760 shares abstained and there were 0 broker non-votes. The Company has considered the outcome of this advisory vote and has determined, as was recommended with respect to this proposal by the Company's board of directors in the proxy statement for the 2022 Annual Meeting, that the Company will hold future say on pay votes on an annual basis until the occurrence of the next advisory vote on the frequency of say on pay votes. The next advisory vote regarding the frequency of say on pay votes is required to occur no later than the Company's 2028 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
