Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
On September 22, 2011, China Fire & Security Group, Inc., a Florida corporation (the "Company"), held a special meeting of shareholders (the "Special Meeting") to approve the previously disclosed Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated May 20, 2011 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among the Company, Amber Parent Limited, an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands ("Parent"), and Amber Mergerco, Inc., a Florida corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent ("Merger Sub"), providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the "Merger"), with the Company surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent.
Approval of the Merger Agreement required the affirmative vote of (i) shareholders holding at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the outstanding shares of the Company common stock at the close of business on the record date and (ii) unaffiliated shareholders holding more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding shares of the Company common stock at the close of business on the record date (other than shares owned by affiliated shareholders, which affiliated shareholders include shareholders who had agreed with Parent and Merger Sub as part of this transaction to contribute to Parent a portion of the shares of the Company's common stock held by them in exchange for certain equity interests in Parent and shareholders who had entered into voting agreements or other support agreements with Parent, Merger Sub or their affiliates).
According to the report of the inspector of election, the Merger Agreement was approved by the shareholders of the Company. A second proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies was not required and thus no vote was taken on that proposal.
The Company's independent inspector of election reported the vote of the shareholders as follows:
