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

As previously announced in the Current Report on Form 8-K by Mars Acquisition Corp. (“Mars”) on September 8, 2023, on September 5, 2023, Mars, a Cayman Island exempted company, entered into a Business Combination Agreement ( “Business Combination Agreement”) with ScanTech AI Systems Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Mars (“Pubco”), Mars Merger Sub I Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Mars (“Purchaser Merger Sub”), Mars Merger Sub II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Company Merger Sub”), ScanTech Identification Beam Systems, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“ScanTech” or the “Company”), and Dolan Falconer in the capacity as the representative from and after the Effective Time for the Company Holder Participants as of immediately prior to the Effective (the “Seller Representative”). The transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement are hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Business Combination.” Any capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Business Combination Agreement, as amended from time to time.

On December 12, 2024, Mars held an Extraordinary General Meeting in connection with the Business Combination. The Business Combination and each of the proposals presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting are described in the definitive proxy statement filed by Mars with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on November 14, 2024, as amended on December 9, 2024 (File No. 001-41619), and in the definitive proxy statement/prospectus/consent solicitation included in the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-280595), which was filed publicly by Pubco with the SEC in connection with the Business Combination and declared effective by the SEC on November 6, 2024.

Holders of 3,628,174 ordinary shares of Mars were present in person or by proxy at the meeting. This represented approximately 81.10% of the voting power of Mars’ 4,473,321 ordinary shares as of October 24, 2024, the record date for the Extraordinary General Meeting, thereby constituting a quorum for the transaction of business. Since there were sufficient votes to approve the proposals presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting, the Adjournment Proposal was not presented to shareholders.
