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

 

On August 19, 2025, Enzo Biochem, Inc., a New York corporation (the “Company”), held a special meeting of shareholders (the “Special Meeting”). As of July 15, 2025, the record date for the Special Meeting (the “Record Date”), 52,352,764 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), were outstanding and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. A summary of the matters voted upon by the Company’s shareholders at the Special Meeting is set forth below.

 

A total of 34,336,390 shares of Common Stock were present at the Special Meeting in person, by virtual attendance, or by proxy, which represents approximately 65.58% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the Record Date.

 

Proposal 1. The Merger Proposal.

 

The Company’s shareholders approved the adoption of the Agreement and Plan of Merger (as it may be amended from time to time), dated June 23, 2025 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Bethpage Parent, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and Bethpage Merger Sub, Inc., a New York corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), and the Merger and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Merger Proposal”). The final voting results are as follows:

 

Votes For   Votes Against   Abstentions
29,964,566   4,306,757   65,067

 

Proposal 2. The Adjournment Proposal.

 

In connection with the Special Meeting, the Company also solicited proxies with respect to a proposal to approve the adjournment of the Special Meeting, from time to time, to a later date or dates, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if there were insufficient votes to approve the Merger Proposal at the time of the Special Meeting (the “Adjournment Proposal”). Because the Merger Proposal was approved at the Special Meeting, the Adjournment Proposal was not necessary or appropriate and was not presented at the Special Meeting.

 

Subject to satisfaction or waiver of the other closing conditions specified in the Merger Agreement, the Company and Parent expect the closing of the Merger to occur on or about August 20, 2025.
