Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
On March 26, 2021, HMS Holdings Corp., a Delaware corporation ("HMS"), held a
special meeting of stockholders (the "Special Meeting") to consider certain
proposals related to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (as it may be amended from
time to time, the "Merger Agreement"), dated December 20, 2020, by and among
HMS, Gainwell Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation ("Gainwell"), Mustang
MergerCo Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Gainwell
("Merger Sub"), and Gainwell Intermediate Holding Corp., a Delaware corporation.
The Merger Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the
satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub will
merge with and into HMS (the "Merger"), with HMS continuing as the surviving
corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Gainwell.
As of February 4, 2021, the record date for the determination of stockholders
entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, there were 88,637,633 shares of HMS
common stock outstanding and entitled to vote, each of which was entitled to one
vote for each proposal at the Special Meeting. At the Special Meeting, a total
of 69,355,096 shares of HMS common stock, representing approximately 78.24% of
the shares outstanding and entitled to vote, were present by remote
communication or represented by proxy, constituting a quorum to conduct business
for all matters presented at the Special Meeting.
At the Special Meeting, HMS stockholders considered three proposals, each of
which is described in more detail in a definitive proxy statement filed by HMS
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on February 22, 2021 and
the supplemental disclosure to the proxy statement filed by HMS with the SEC on
March 18, 2021. The final results regarding each proposal are set forth below.
