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

 

On June 5, 2020, GAIN Capital Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“GAIN”) held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”). The purpose of the Special Meeting was for its stockholders to consider and vote on the proposals identified in GAIN’s definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 1, 2020 (the “Proxy Statement”). The Proxy Statement was filed in connection with the previously announced Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 26, 2020 (the “Merger Agreement”) with INTL FCStone Inc., a Delaware corporation (“INTL”) and Golf Merger Sub I Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of INTL (“Merger Sub”). 

 

As of the close of business on April 23, 2020, the record date for the Special Meeting, there were 37,803,516 shares of GAIN’s common stock issued and outstanding. At the Special Meeting, a total of 31,437,476 shares of GAIN’s common stock, representing approximately 83.16% of its common stock issued and outstanding, were present in person or by proxy, constituting a quorum to conduct business.

 

At the Special Meeting, GAIN’s stockholders considered and voted upon the proposals described below, each of which is further described in the Proxy Statement. The final voting results for each proposal are set forth below.
