Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

(a) Amergent Hospitality Group Inc. ("Amergent") held its 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders ("2021 Annual Meeting") on December 30, 2021, at which the matters set forth below in response to Item 5.07(b) were submitted to a vote of security holders.

As of the close of business on November 22, 2021, the record date for the Annual Meeting, 15,706,735 shares of the Company's common stock, $0.0001 par value ("Common Stock"), were outstanding and entitled to vote.

Set forth below are the proposals voted upon at the 2021 Annual Meeting, and the estimated preliminary voting results reported by the Company's proxy solicitor, Securities Transfer Corporation (the "Proxy Solicitor"), based on the information available to the Proxy Solicitor. Based on the estimated preliminary results from the Proxy Solicitor and subject to the qualifications set forth herein, at least 9,857,899 shares of Common Stock were voted in person or by proxy at the 2021 Annual Meeting, representing more than 62% percent of the shares entitled to be voted.

The numbers depicted may not reflect the actual results, which are being tabulated by the independent inspector of election (the "Inspector of Election"). The Inspector of Election is the only person who will be able to count, tabulate and validate the votes to reflect, among other items: the net effect of legal proxies and other ballots or proxy cards voted at the 2021 Annual Meeting.

These preliminary voting results will ultimately be updated through the filing of an amendment to this Current Report on Form 8-K to reflect the final certification of results from the Inspector of Election. There can be no assurance that the outcome of the final results will be consistent with the outcome of the estimated vote results indicated on this Form 8-K.

(b) The estimated preliminary voting results from the Proxy Solicitor for the proposals presented at the 2021 Annual Meeting are as follows:
