In connection with the Annual Meeting, the Company also solicited proxies with respect to a proposal to approve an amendment to the NovaBay Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 2007 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as amended, to increase the number of shares of NovaBay common stock reserved for issuance thereunder by two million five hundred thousand (2,500,000) shares (the "2007 Plan Proposal"). At the time of the 2016 Annual Meeting, there were an insufficient number of votes needed to approve the 2007 Plan Proposal. Given the important nature of the 2007 Plan Proposal, the Company decided to adjourn the 2016 Annual Meeting to allow additional time for stockholders to consider this proposal, and for the Company to solicit additional proxies on the matter. As such, the presiding Chairman of the 2016 Annual Meeting adjourned the meeting, which will reconvene at 3 p.m. Pacific time on Thursday, May 26, 2016, at 5858 Horton Street, Suite 260, Emeryville, California 94608 for the purpose of holding a stockholder vote on the 2007 Plan Proposal. During the period of adjournment, the Company will continue to accept stockholder votes on such proposal.
