Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
|
A special meeting of stockholders of Soho House & Co. Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”),
was held virtually on January 9, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time (3:00 p.m. Greenwich Mean Time) via a live webcast (the “Special Meeting”). As of the close of business on
December 1, 2025, the record date for the Special Meeting (the “Record Date”), 54,149,151 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Class A Common Stock”), were outstanding and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting and 141,500,385 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Class B Common Stock” and, together with the Class A Common Stock, “Common Stock”), were outstanding and
entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. Each record holder of Class A Common Stock was entitled to one vote for each share of Class A Common Stock owned as of the Record Date and each record holder of Class B Common Stock was entitled to ten votes
for each share of Class B Common Stock owned as of the Record Date.
At the Special Meeting, a total of 1,456,765,105 votes were present virtually or by proxy, representing approximately 99.15% of the voting power of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, and, therefore, a quorum was present for the Special Meeting. A summary of the voting results for the following proposals, each of which is described in detail in the Company’s
definitive proxy statement, dated December 11, 2025, and first mailed to the Company’s stockholders on or about the date thereof (the “Proxy Statement”), is set forth below.
Merger Proposal
As previously announced, on August 15, 2025, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as it may be amended, supplemented or modified from time to time,
the “Merger Agreement”) with EH Parent LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Parent”), and EH
MergerSub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. Adoption of the Merger Agreement and approval of the other Transaction Agreements and the Letter Agreement Amendment (each as defined in the Proxy Statement) (the “Merger Proposal”) required the affirmative vote of (1) the holders of shares of Common Stock representing a majority of the voting power of the outstanding Common Stock entitled to
vote thereon (the “Majority Approval”) and (2) the holders of shares of Common Stock representing a majority of the votes cast by the Unaffiliated Stockholders (the “Unaffiliated Approval”). The “Unaffiliated Stockholders” means the Company’s stockholders other than (1) any
of the Buyer Parties, the Equity Investors or any Subscription Investors (each as defined in the Proxy Statement); (2) any of the Reinvestment Stockholders (as defined in the Proxy Statement); (3) any members of the board of directors of the Company;
(4) any person that the Company has determined to be an “officer” of the Company within the meaning of Rule 16a-1(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”); and (5) any affiliates or associates (as defined pursuant to Section 12b-2 of the Exchange Act) of any of the persons described in subclauses (1) to (5).
At the Special Meeting, the Company’s stockholders voted upon and adopted and approved the Merger Proposal. The Majority Approval was obtained with 99.14% of the voting
power of the outstanding Common Stock entitled to vote on the Merger Proposal voting in favor and the Unaffiliated Approval was obtained with 99.79% of the votes cast by the Unaffiliated Stockholders voting in favor. The votes on this proposal were
as follows:

Abstentions by Unaffiliated Stockholders were not considered votes cast affirmatively or negatively and had no effect on the outcome of the vote on the Unaffiliated Approval.
|
Adjournment Proposal
Because the Merger Proposal was approved, the proposal to approve the adjournment of the Special Meeting, from time to time, to a later date or dates, if necessary or
appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes to adopt the Merger Agreement and approve the other Transaction Agreements and the Letter Agreement Amendment at the time of the Special Meeting was rendered moot and was not
called for a vote at the Special Meeting.
