(a) Amergent Hospitality Group Inc. ("Amergent") held its 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders ("2022 Annual Meeting") on January 13, 2023, at which the matters set forth below in response to Item 5.07(b) were submitted to a vote of security holders. The Annual Meeting was adjourned on December 30, 2022 due to lacking a quorum to convene.

At the 2022 Annual Meeting, the stockholders of Amergent elected all of the nominees to the board of directors.

In addition, the stockholders ratified the appointment of Cherry Bekaert LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022.

The stockholders did not, however, approve an amendment to Amergent's certificate of incorporation to increase the authorized shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value, from 50,000,000 to 150,000,000.

Of the 15,706,735 shares of common stock outstanding on the record date of November 18, 2022, a total of 7,993,593 shares were voted in person or by proxy, representing 50.89% of the votes entitled to be cast, constituting a majority and therefore more than a quorum of the outstanding shares entitled to vote.
