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

On January 17, 2024, Revelation Biosciences, Inc. (the “Company”), held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”). At the Special Meeting, the stockholders voted and approved proposals to (1) grant discretionary authority to our board of directors to (i) amend our certificate of incorporation to combine outstanding shares of our common stock into a lesser number of outstanding shares, or a “reverse stock split,” at a specific ratio within a range of one-for-2 to a maximum of a one-for-50 split, with the exact ratio to be determined by our board of directors in its sole discretion; and (ii) effect the reverse stock split, if at all, within one year of the date the proposal is approved by stockholders, and (2) approve the adjournment of the Special Meeting to the extent there are insufficient proxies at the Special Meeting to approve the Reverse Stock Split.

At the Special Meeting of the Company, a total of 2,244,048 shares of the Company’s common stock, out of a total of 6,297,303 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, as of the record date for the Special Meeting, were present virtually, or represented by valid proxy at the Special Meeting, constituting a quorum.
