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

 

On March 15, 2023, GX Acquisition Corp. II (“GX” or the “Company”) held a special meeting (the “Special Meeting”) of the stockholders of the Company virtually via live webcast at https://www.cstproxy.com/gx2/2023, at which holders of 28,651,486 shares of common stock were present in person or by proxy, representing 76.404% of the voting power of the shares of the Company’s common stock as of January 24, 2023, the record date for the Special Meeting (stockholders of record as of the close of business on the record date are referred to herein as “Stockholders”). Each of the proposals listed below is described in more detail in the definitive joint proxy statement/prospectus that NioCorp Developments Ltd. filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on February 8, 2023 (the “Proxy Statement”) beginning on page 109, which is incorporated herein by reference. A summary of the voting results at the Special Meeting for each of the proposals is set forth below:

 

Proposal No. 1: To consider and vote upon a proposal to approve and adopt the Business Combination Agreement, dated September 25, 2022 (as may be amended from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among GX, NioCorp Developments Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the Province of British Columbia (“NioCorp”), and Big Red Merger Sub Ltd, a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of NioCorp (“Merger Sub”), and the transactions contemplated thereby, pursuant to which, among other transactions, the following transactions will occur: (i) Merger Sub will merge with and into GX, with GX surviving the merger (the “First Merger”); (ii) all Class A shares in GX (the “GX Class A Shares”) that are held by stockholders who have not elected to exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Transactions (as defined below) shall be converted into shares of Class A common stock in GX (such shares, the “First Merger Class A Shares”), as the surviving company in the First Merger; (iii) NioCorp will purchase all First Merger Class A Shares in exchange for common shares of NioCorp (“NioCorp Common Shares”) (the “Exchange”); (iv) NioCorp will assume the GX Warrant Agreement and each GX Warrant that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Exchange will be converted into a warrant to acquire NioCorp Common Shares; (v) all of the First Merger Class A Shares will be contributed by NioCorp to 0896800 B.C. Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the Province of British Columbia and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of NioCorp (“Intermediate Holdco”), in exchange for additional shares of Intermediate Holdco, resulting in GX becoming a direct subsidiary of Intermediate Holdco; (vi) Elk Creek Resources Corp., a Nebraska corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Intermediate Holdco, will merge with and into GX, with GX surviving the merger as a direct subsidiary of Intermediate Holdco (the “Second Merger”); and (vii) following the effective time of the Second Merger, each of NioCorp and GX, as the surviving company of the Second Merger, will effectuate the applicable reverse stock split. We refer to the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement collectively as the “Transactions”. The voting results for this proposal were as follows:

Proposal No. 2: To consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the amendment to the current Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of GX (the “GX Existing Charter”), as of immediately prior to the effective time of the First Merger, to remove the automatic conversion of GX Founder Shares into GX Class A Shares (such amendment, the “GX Charter Amendment”).

The non-binding, advisory proposals in GX Proposals No. 3 through No. 9 will not apply to the existing holders of GX Class A Shares because they will not continue to be direct stockholders of GX, as GX will be a subsidiary of NioCorp following the consummation of the Transactions.

Stockholders holding 28,506,605 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company’s Trust Account at a redemption price of approximately $10.159 per share. As a result, approximately $289.6 million in cash will be removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders.
