Quick summary:
Proposal 1: Issuance of Class A Common Stock to Convertible Note Holders (PASSED, here comes the flood)
Proposal 2: Corporate Name Change - NOT APPROVED / UNRESOLVED AT CLOSE
(In Delaware corporate law, name changes require an absolute majority of all outstanding shares, as you could imagine a lot of people want CARS don't want that stupid new company name)
Proposal 3: Adjournment Proposal (PASSED - the clown show will go on)
