Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

At the Extraordinary General Meeting (the “Extraordinary General Meeting”) of Leo Holdings Corp. (the “Company”), which was held on February 11, 2020, holders of 19,465,329 of Leo Holdings Corp.’s ordinary shares, which represents approximately 77.86% of the ordinary shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote as of the record date of January 17, 2020, were represented in person or by proxy.

At the Extraordinary General Meeting, the shareholders approved an ordinary resolution (the “Extension Proposal”) to extend the date, from February 15, 2020 to July 31, 2020, by which the Company must either (a) consummate a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities or (b) (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem all of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares included as part of the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering that was consummated on February 15, 2018; and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining members and the Company’s board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of (ii) and (iii), to its obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and in all cases subject to the other requirements of applicable law.

In connection with the vote to approve the Extension Proposal, the holders of 687,193 Class A ordinary shares properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.38 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $7.13 million. As such, only approximately 3.4% of the Class A ordinary shares were redeemed and approximately 96.6% of the Class A ordinary shares remain outstanding. After the satisfaction of such redemptions, the balance in the Company’s trust account will be approximately $200.4 million.

The approval of the Extension Proposal will provide an opportunity for the Company’s shareholders to evaluate the Company’s proposed business combination with Digital Media Solutions LLC (“DMS”). The Company announced on February 6, 2020 that the Company and DMS have executed a non-binding term sheet and are working on a definitive agreement.
