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

(a) At the annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of CHF Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) held on May 20, 2020, the following proposals were brought before the meeting (i) the election of two Class I director nominees to the Company’s board of directors to serve three-year terms (“Proposal 1”), (ii) the approval, on an advisory basis, of Baker Tilly Virchow Krause, LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2020 (“Proposal 2”), (iii) the approval of an amendment to the Company’s Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to effect a reverse split of the Company’s outstanding common stock at a ratio in the range of 1-for-5 to 1-for-30, to be determined at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors, whereby each outstanding 5 to 30 shares would be combined, converted and changed into 1 share of Company common stock, without reducing the number of authorized shares of Company common stock (“Proposal 3”) and (iv) the authorization for one or more adjournments of the annual meeting to solicit additional proxies in the event there were insufficient votes to approve Proposal 3 (“Proposal 4”).

For Proposal 1, the two nominees receiving the highest number of “FOR” votes at the annual meeting were elected as directors.

Proposal 3 required an affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at the annual meeting. The proposals are described in detail in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed on April 13, 2020 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

A total of 22,327,413 shares of the Company’s common stock were present at the meeting in person or by proxy, which represents approximately 68.49% of the shares of common stock outstanding as of the record date for the Annual Meeting.
