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

The Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Plus Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) was held on April 20, 2023 (the “Annual Meeting”). At the Annual Meeting, the Company’s stockholders voted on six proposals, as described in the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement, filed on Schedule 14A on March 7, 2023 (the “Proxy Statement”), including the following proposal: approval of an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, at a ratio of not less than 1-for-3 and not greater than 1-for-15, with the exact ratio and effective time of the reverse stock split to be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Reverse Stock Split Proposal”).

 

The Company had 35,418,165 shares of common stock and one share of Series F preferred stock (the “Preferred Stock”) issued and outstanding at the close of business on March 3, 2023, the record date for eligibility to vote at the Annual Meeting, and there were present at the Annual Meeting (in person virtually or represented by valid proxy) a total of 15,496,411 shares of common stock and one share of Preferred Stock.

 

As previously described in the Proxy Statement, the holder of record of the one outstanding share of Preferred Stock was entitled to 50,000,000 votes, had the right to vote only on the Reverse Stock Split Proposal, and such votes were automatically voted in the same proportion as the shares of common stock voted on the Reverse Stock Split Proposal. Holders of the Company’s common stock were entitled to one vote per share.

 

The Reverse Stock Split Proposal submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders at the Annual Meeting was approved. The ratio and effective date of the reverse stock split will be reported on a separate Current Report on Form 8-K once approved by the Company’s Board of Directors.

 

The proposals and the results of the stockholder votes are as follows:

 

1. Proposal to elect six directors to serve until the 2024 annual meeting or until their successors are duly elected and qualified:
