Item 5.07. Submissions of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
As previously reported, on June 10, 2021, Venus Acquisition Corporation, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Purchaser” or “Venus”), VIYI Algorithm Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “VIYI” or the “Company”), Venus Merger Sub Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Purchaser (the “Merger Sub”), and WiMi Hologram Cloud Inc. (the “WiMi” or the “Majority Shareholder”), a Cayman Islands exempted company and the legal and beneficial owner of 73% of the issued and outstanding voting securities of VIYI, entered into a Merger Agreement (the “Merger Agreement”). After the consummation of the Business Combination, the Company will be renamed “MicroAlgo Inc.”
On November 10, 2022, at 10:00 a.m., Eastern time, the Company held an Extraordinary General Meeting of its stockholders of record (the “Extraordinary General Meeting”), at which the Company’s stockholders of record voted on the proposals set forth below, each of which is described in detail in the Definitive Proxy Statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 20, 2022.
As of September 28, 2022, the record date for the Extraordinary General Meeting, there were 6,050,000 ordinary shares, par value $0.00001 per share, of the Company (the “Company Common Stock”) issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Extraordinary Meeting. A total of 4,653,504 shares of the Company Common Stock, representing approximately 76.92% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company Common Stock, were present in person by virtual attendance or represented by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting, constituting a quorum for the Extraordinary General Meeting. The final voting results for each proposal submitted to the stockholders of record of the Company at the Extraordinary General Meeting are included below.
Each of the proposals described below was approved by the Company’s stockholders of record.
Proposal 1:
Approval to amend Venus’ amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association”) to extend the date by which Venus must consummate a business combination to December 11, 2022 (the “Extension Proposal” or “Proposal 1”).
For | | Against | | Abstain |
4,653,500 | | 4 | | 0 |
Proposal 2:
Approval to adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting under certain circumstances, which is more fully described in the accompanying proxy statement, which we refer to as the “Adjournment Proposal” or “Proposal 2”.
For | | Against | | Abstain |

Because all of the other proposals had received the required approval, this Proposal 2 was rendered moot and not voted at the Extraordinary General Meeting.
