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

On March 3, 2022, CMC Materials, Inc. ("CMC") held a special meeting of stockholders (the "Special Meeting") to consider certain proposals related to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended from time to time, the "Merger Agreement") with Entegris, Inc. ("Entegris") and Yosemite Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Entegris ("Merger Sub"), which provides that, among other things and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into CMC (the "Merger"), with CMC surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Entegris.

As of January 25, 2022, the record date for the Special Meeting, there were 28,575,038 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of CMC ("CMC Common Stock") outstanding, each of which was entitled to one vote for each proposal at the Special Meeting. At the Special Meeting, a total of 24,275,972 shares of CMC Common Stock, representing approximately 84.95% of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of CMC Common Stock, were present in person via remote communication or by proxy, constituting a quorum to conduct business.

At the Special Meeting, the following proposals were considered:

1. a proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement (the "Merger Agreement Proposal");

2. a proposal to approve, on a non-binding, advisory basis, the merger-related


    compensation that will or may be paid to CMC's named executive officers in
    connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the
    "Compensation Proposal"); and


3. a proposal to approve the adjournment of the Special Meeting to solicit


    additional proxies if there are not sufficient votes at the time of the
    Special Meeting to approve the Merger Agreement Proposal or to ensure that any
    supplement or amendment to the proxy statement/prospectus is timely provided
    to CMC stockholders (the "Adjournment Proposal").


The Merger Agreement Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal were approved by the requisite vote of CMC's stockholders. The Compensation Proposal (a non-binding, advisory proposal) was not approved by CMC's stockholders. The final voting results for each such proposal are described below. For more information on each of these proposals, see the definitive proxy statement filed by CMC with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on January 26, 2022.
