Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

As previously disclosed, on September 9, 2021, Echo Global Logistics, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Echo" or the "Company"), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") by and among, Einstein Midco, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Parent"), Einstein Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent ("Merger Sub"), and the Company, providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the "Merger") with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. Parent and Merger Sub are owned and controlled by funds managed by The Jordan Company, L.P.

On November 19, 2021, Echo held a virtual special meeting of stockholders (the "Special Meeting") to consider and vote upon several matters in connection with the proposed acquisition of Echo by Parent by way of the Merger pursuant to the Merger Agreement. A total of 26,630,895 shares of Echo's common stock were entitled to vote as of the close of business of October 20, 2021, the record date for the Special Meeting, of which a quorum of 21,503,957 shares was virtually present in person or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting. At this Special Meeting, holders of Echo common stock were requested to vote upon: (1) the approval of the Merger Agreement (the "Merger Proposal"), and (2) the approval, on an advisory and non-binding basis, of specified compensation that may become payable to the Echo named executive officers in connection with the Merger (the "Compensation Proposal"), such proposals are described in more detail in the definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 21, 2021. As there were sufficient affirmative stockholder votes at the time of the Special Meeting to approve the Merger Proposal, the proposal to approve one or more adjournments of the Special Meeting, if necessary and to the extent permitted by the Merger Agreement, to solicit additional proxies if Echo had not obtained sufficient affirmative stockholder votes at the time of the Special Meeting, was rendered moot and was not submitted for a vote. The following actions were taken by Echo's stockholders with respect to each of the foregoing items presented for a vote at the Special Meeting:

Proposal 1. Echo's stockholders approved the Merger Proposal. The table below sets forth the voting results.
