On April 17, 2023, following the approval of a proposed amendment to the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the “Charter”) of Innovative Solutions and Support, Inc. (the “Company”) by the Company’s shareholders at the Company’s 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”), as further described in the Company’s Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February 24, 2023 (such amendment, the “Amendment” and such Proxy Statement, the “Proxy Statement”), the Company filed Articles of Amendment with the Department of State of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (the “Department”) in order to give effect to the Amendment.

The foregoing summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Articles of Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.3 to this report and incorporated herein by reference. The text of the Amendment, as filed with the Department, is substantially identical to what was included in the Proxy Statement.

The Annual Meeting was held on April 13, 2023. At the Annual Meeting, the Company’s shareholders considered five proposals. The proposals below are described in the Proxy Statement. The results are as follows:

Proposal 1: Proposed Amendment to the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company

The Amendment received the required vote of 65% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares and was therefore approved by the Company’s shareholders as follows:

Proposal 2: Election of Directors

The following members of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) each received a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting in support of their re-election and therefore were re-elected by the Company’s shareholders:
