Item 5.07

Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

At the special meeting of the stockholders of Casper Sleep Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Casper”), held on January 19, 2022 at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time (the “Special Meeting”), the stockholders approved the following proposals (with the final voting results being set forth below):

Proposal to approve and adopt the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 14, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Marlin Parent, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), Marlin Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and Casper (the “Merger Agreement Proposal”). The Merger Agreement Proposal was approved with a vote of 28,938,724 shares in favor, 190,855 shares against, 76,175 shares abstaining and nil broker non-votes.

Proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date or dates if necessary or appropriate to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes to adopt the Merger Agreement at the time of the Special Meeting. The proposal was approved with a vote of 28,277,268 shares in favor, 823,889 shares against, 104,597 shares abstaining and nil broker non-votes. Sufficient votes were received to approve this proposal; however this proposal was not necessary following the approval of the Merger Agreement Proposal and was therefore not implemented.

Each proposal is described in detail in Casper’s definitive proxy statement, dated December 14, 2021, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 14, 2021, and first mailed to Casper’s stockholders on or about December 16, 2021.

As of the close of business on the record date for the Special Meeting, which was December 14, 2021, there were 41,622,640 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. Each share of common stock was entitled to one vote per share. A total of 29,205,754 shares of Casper’s common stock, representing approximately 70.17% of Casper’s shares of common stock outstanding as of the record date for the Special Meeting were represented virtually or by proxy at the Special Meeting, and constituted a quorum to conduct business at the Special Meeting.
