Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
On December 10, 2021, Triple-S Management Corporation, a Puerto Rico
corporation (“Triple-S”), convened a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) to consider and vote
upon certain proposals related to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 23, 2021, as it may be amended from time to time
(the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Triple-S, GuideWell Mutual Holding Corporation, a Florida not-for-profit mutual insurance
holding company (“Parent”), and GuideWell Merger, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger
Sub”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will be merged with and into Triple-S, with Triple-S surviving the merger as a wholly owned
subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, Triple-S will no longer be publicly held. Triple-S common
stock will be delisted from the New York Stock Exchange and deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
There were 23,795,559 shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share,
of Triple-S (“Triple-S common stock”), issued and outstanding as of November 2, 2021, the record date for the Special Meeting
(the “Record Date”). At the Special Meeting, the holders of 17,184,851 shares of Triple-S common stock were present via webcast
or represented by proxy, representing approximately 72% of the total outstanding shares of Triple-S common stock as of the Record Date,
which constituted a quorum. Holders of approximately 72% of the shares of Triple-S common stock issued and outstanding as of the Record
Date voted to approve the Merger Agreement.
At the Special Meeting, the following proposals were voted upon (each
of which is described in greater detail in the definitive proxy statement filed by Triple-S with the Securities and Exchange Commission
on November 4, 2021):
Proposal 1 – The Merger Proposal: To approve
and adopt the Merger Agreement (the “Merger Proposal”), dated August 23, 2021.
Proposal 2– The Merger Compensation Proposal:
To approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, certain compensation that will or may be paid by Triple-S to its named executive officers
that is based on or otherwise relates to the Merger.
Proposal 3– The Adjournment Proposal: To
approve the adjournment of the Special Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies in favor of Proposal 1, the
Merger Proposal, if there are not sufficient votes at the time of such adjournment to approve the Merger Proposal. Although Proposal 3
was approved, the adjournment of the Special Meeting was not necessary because Triple-S’s stockholders approved Proposal 1.
A summary of the voting results for each proposal is set forth below.
