Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders Form 8 K

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

On July 23, 2024, Tenon Medical, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), held its virtual 2024 Annual Stockholders Meeting (the "Meeting").

As of the close of business on June 3, 2024, the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the Meeting, there were 6,348,000 shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share, issued and outstanding, with each share entitled to one vote on each proposal at the Meeting. At the Meeting, the combined holders of 3,639,345 shares of the voting stock entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting were represented in person or by proxy, representing approximately 57.33% of the outstanding voting shares, and thereby a quorum pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law and the bylaws of the Company was present for the transaction of business at the Meeting.

The final results for each of the matters considered at the Meeting were as follows:

1. Election of the seven nominees to the Board of Directors of the Company:

Each director nominee was elected to serve as a director until the Company's 2025 annual meeting of stockholders, or until such person's successor is duly elected and qualified, or until such person's earlier resignation, death or removal. Due to the fact that directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast, votes could only be cast in favor of or withheld from the nominees and thus votes against were not applicable.

Approval of the terms of (i) our Series B Preferred Stock, (ii) the warrants to be issued on the issuance date of our Series B Preferred Stock and (iii) the amendment to the terms of our Series A Preferred Stock to decrease the amount of the conversion price thereof, in each case, to comply with Listing Rule 5635(d) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC:
