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

On December 14, 2023, Genprex, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“we” or “our” or the “Company”) held a Special Meeting of Stockholders (the “Special Meeting”). The final voting results for each of the matters submitted to a vote of stockholders at the Special Meeting, as set forth in the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 3, 2023, are as follows:

Proposal 1. Amendment to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

The amendment to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of our issued shares of common stock, at a specific ratio, ranging from one-for-ten (1:10) to one-for-fifty (1:50), at any time prior to December 31, 2025, subject to our Board of Directors' determination, in its sole discretion, whether or not to implement the reverse stock split and, if so, at what specific ratio within the foregoing range, without further approval or authorization of our stockholders (“Proposal 1”) was approved by the stockholders upon the following votes:

Votes For		Votes Against		Abstentions		Broker Non-Votes
16,933,367		13,716,034		92,628		0

In connection with the Special Meeting, the Company also solicited proxies with respect to the adjournment of the Special Meeting for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies if there were insufficient votes at the Special Meeting to approve Proposal 1 (the “Adjournment Proposal”). As there were sufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to approve Proposal 1, the Adjournment Proposal was unnecessary and such proposal was not submitted to the stockholders for approval at the Special Meeting.

No other business properly came before the Special Meeting.
