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

 

On May 13, 2019, Churchill Capital Corp (“Churchill”) held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”). At the Special Meeting, the Company’s stockholders considered the following proposals:

 

1.A proposal to approve the business combination, including (a) the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 14, 2019 (as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated February 26, 2019, and Amendment No. 2 to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated March 29, 2019, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Churchill, Clarivate Analytics Plc (“Clarivate”), a public limited company newly incorporated under the laws of Jersey, Channel Islands, and currently owned 50% by Onex Partners IV LP and 50% by Onex Partners IV GP LP, CCC Merger Sub, Inc., a newly formed Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Clarivate (“Delaware Merger Sub”), Camelot Merger Sub (Jersey) Limited, a newly formed private limited company organized under the laws of Jersey, Channel Islands and wholly owned subsidiary of Clarivate (“Jersey Merger Sub”), and Camelot Holdings (Jersey) Limited, a private limited company organized under the laws of Jersey, Channel Islands (“Company”), which, among other things, provides for (i) Jersey Merger Sub to be merged with and into the Company with the Company being the surviving company in the merger (the “Jersey Merger”) and (ii) Delaware Merger Sub to be merged with and into Churchill with Churchill being the surviving corporation in the merger (the “Delaware Merger”, and together with the Jersey Merger the “Mergers” and the Mergers, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Transactions”) and (b) the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and related Sponsor Agreement.

 

For Against Abstain
     
68,153,138 138,590 0

 

2.Proposals to approve the following material differences between the constitutional documents of Clarivate that will be in effect upon the closing of the Transactions and Churchill’s current amended and restated certificate of incorporation:

 

i.the name of the new public entity will be “Clarivate Analytics Plc” as opposed to “Churchill Capital Corp”;

 

For Against Abstain
     
68,175,967 10 138,580

 

ii.Clarivate will have no limit on the number of shares which Clarivate is authorized to issue, as opposed to Churchill having 220,000,000 authorized shares of common stock and 1,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock; and

 

For Against Abstain
     
65,414,973 2,876,755 0

 

 

 

 

iii.Clarivate’s constitutional documents will not include the various provisions applicable only to special purpose acquisition corporations that Churchill’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation contains (such as the obligation to dissolve and liquidate if a business combination is not consummated in a certain period of time).

 

For Against Abstain
     
68,153,138 0 138,590

 

Because the proposal to approve the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby was approved, the proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, was not presented at the Special Meeting.
