On May 16, 2019, Multi-Color Corporation (the “Company” or “Multi-Color”) held a Special Meeting of Shareholders (the “Special Meeting”) in Cincinnati, Ohio. Of the 20,543,253 shares of common stock, no par value per share, of the Company (the “Company common stock”) issued and outstanding at the close of business as of April 3, 2019, the record date for the Special Meeting, shareholders holding a majority of the total number of outstanding shares of Company common stock entitled to vote were present or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting, constituting a quorum for all matters to be presented at the Special Meeting.

The final results of the shareholder votes at the Special Meeting are set forth below.

Proposal 1: Merger Agreement Proposal. The proposal was to adopt the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 24, 2019 (the “Agreement and Plan of Merger”), by and among the Company, W/S Packaging Holdings, Inc. and Monarch Merger Corporation (the “merger agreement proposal”). The merger agreement proposal was adopted.
