Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
As previously announced, on December 12, 2022, Coupa Software Incorporated, a
Delaware corporation (the "Company", "we", "us" or "our") entered into an
Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with Coupa Holdings, LLC
(f/k/a Project CS Parent, LLC), a Delaware limited liability company ("Parent"),
and Project CS Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned
subsidiary of Parent ("Merger Sub"). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on the
terms and subject to the conditions thereof, Merger Sub will be merged with and
into the Company (the "Merger") with the Company continuing as the surviving
corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. On February 23, 2023, the
Company held a virtual special meeting of its stockholders (the "Special
Meeting") to vote on the proposals identified in the Company's definitive proxy
statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 23, 2023,
and mailed to the Company's stockholders on January 23, 2023.
As of the close of business on January 23, 2023, the record date for the Special
Meeting, there were 75,541,311 shares of the Company's common stock, par value
$0.0001 per share ("Company Common Stock"), outstanding, each of which was
entitled to one vote for each proposal at the Special Meeting. 52,684,022 shares
of Company Common Stock, representing approximately 69.74% of all of the issued
and outstanding Company Common Stock entitled to vote, were represented at the
Special Meeting. The tables below detail the final voting results for each
proposal presented at the Special Meeting:
1. The proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement (the "Merger Agreement
Proposal"). The Company's stockholders approved the Merger Agreement
Proposal as follows:
Votes For Votes Against Votes Abstained Broker Non-Votes
51,708,637 932,152 43,233 -
2. The proposal to approve, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, the
compensation that may be paid or become payable to the Company's named
executive officers in connection with the transactions contemplated by
the Merger Agreement, including consummation of the Merger (the "Advisory
Compensation Proposal"). The Company's stockholders approved, on an
advisory (non-binding) basis, the Advisory Compensation Proposal as
follows:

49,235,689 2,360,947 1,087,386 -
In connection with the Special Meeting, the Company also solicited proxies with
respect to the adjournment of the Special Meeting for the purpose of soliciting
additional proxies if there were insufficient votes at the Special Meeting to
adopt the Merger Agreement (the "Adjournment Proposal"). As there were
sufficient votes at the Special Meeting to adopt the Merger Agreement, the
Adjournment Proposal was unnecessary and such proposal was not submitted to the
stockholders for approval at the Special Meeting.
