ITEM 5.07. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
At the special meeting (the "Special Meeting") of DSP Group, Inc. (the "Company") held virtually on November 29, 2021, the following proposals were submitted to a vote of stockholders and the voting results are set forth below. The proposals are described in detail in the proxy statement for the Special Meeting that the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 25, 2021. On October 18, 2021, the record date of the Special Meeting, there were 24,184,258 shares of the Company's common stock outstanding and each entitled to one vote per share at the Special Meeting. At the Special Meeting, 16,740,700 shares of the Company's common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting were represented via the virtual Special Meeting website or by proxy, constituting the requisite quorum to conduct business at the Special Meeting.
1. Proposal to adopt and approve the agreement and plan of merger, dated as of August 30, 2021, with Synaptics Incorporated, a Delaware corporation ("Synaptics"), and Osprey Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Synaptics (the "Merger Sub"), pursuant to which Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company, with the Company surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Synaptics:
For: 16,713,505
Against: 16,504
Abstain: 10,691
2. Non-binding, advisory proposal to approve specified compensation that may be paid or become payable to the Company's named executive officers based on or otherwise related to the merger:
For: 16,166,944
Against: 552,327
Abstain: 21,429
3. Proposal to adjourn or postpone the special meeting to a later date or time, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the special meeting, by or at the direction of the Company's board of directors:
For: 15,331,726
Against: 1,398,493
Abstain: 10,481
No other proposals were submitted for stockholder action. Each of the proposals was approved by the requisite vote of the Company's common stock. Adjournment of the Special Meeting was not necessary or appropriate because there were sufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to approve the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement.
The adoption of the merger agreement also constitutes approval of the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. Subject to satisfaction of the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, the closing of the Merger is anticipated to occur on or about December 2, 2021.
