Item
5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
(a) Amergent Hospitality Group Inc. (“Amergent”)
held its 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (“2021 Annual Meeting”) on December 30, 2021, at which the matters set forth
below in response to Item 5.07(b) were submitted to a vote of security holders.
As of the close of business on November 22,
2021, the record date for the Annual Meeting, 15,706,735 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value (“Common
Stock”), were outstanding and entitled to vote.
Set forth below are the proposals voted upon
at the 2021 Annual Meeting, and the estimated preliminary voting results reported by the Company’s proxy solicitor, Securities
Transfer Corporation (the “Proxy Solicitor”), based on the information available to the Proxy Solicitor. Based on the estimated
preliminary results from the Proxy Solicitor and subject to the qualifications set forth herein, at least 9,857,899 shares of Common
Stock were voted in person or by proxy at the 2021 Annual Meeting, representing more than 62% percent of the shares entitled to be voted.
The numbers depicted may not reflect the actual
results, which are being tabulated by the independent inspector of election (the “Inspector of Election”). The Inspector
of Election is the only person who will be able to count, tabulate and validate the votes to reflect, among other items: the net effect
of legal proxies and other ballots or proxy cards voted at the 2021 Annual Meeting.
These preliminary voting results will ultimately
be updated through the filing of an amendment to this Current Report on Form 8-K to reflect the final certification of results from the
Inspector of Election. There can be no assurance that the outcome of the final results will be consistent with the outcome of the estimated
vote results indicated on this Form 8-K.
(b) The estimated preliminary voting results
from the Proxy Solicitor for the proposals presented at the 2021 Annual Meeting are as follows:
Proposal No. 1

preliminary votes for and against each nominee and abstentions are set forth below. The five nominees will be elected
