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

 

On June 27, 2025, Banzai International, Inc. (the “Company”) held a special meeting of shareholders (the “Meeting”). At the Meeting, the Company’s shareholders voted on two proposals, including one to approve an adjournment, if necessary. At the beginning of the Meeting, 4,768,472 Class A Shares and 25,568,678 Class B Shares, which represents 24.34% and 63.31%, respectively of the voting power of the shares entitled to vote at the Meeting, were represented by proxy, which together constituted a quorum for the transaction of business. Since there were sufficient votes to approve the other proposal, the Company did not need to adjourn the Meeting.

 

We are filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose the voting results from the Meeting. The following proposal was voted on:

 

  1. To approve an amendment to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split with respect to the Company’s issued and outstanding Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock at a ratio of 1-for-10, subject to the authority of the Board of Directors to abandon such amendment (the “Reverse Split Proposal”).

 

For   Against   Abstain
25,320,879   242,880   4,919

 

Since the proposal was approved, the Company will file a Certificate of Amendment with Delaware’s Secretary of State to revise the second paragraph of Article IV, Section (A) so as to effect the reverse stock split.

 

The information in this Form 8-K shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and shall not be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
