On December 5, 2025, The ODP Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("ODP"), held a special meeting of stockholders (the "ODP Special Meeting") at which holders of ODP's common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("ODP Common Stock"), approved each of the proposals voted on at the ODP Special Meeting relating to the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 22, 2025 (as it may be amended from time to time, the "Merger Agreement"), by and among ODP, ACR Ocean Resources LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Parent"), and Vail Holdings 1, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent ("Merger Sub"). Of the 30,117,856 shares of ODP Common Stock issued and outstanding at the close of business on October 21, 2025, the record date for the ODP Special Meeting, 22,656,187 shares were present or represented by proxy at the ODP Special Meeting, which constituted a quorum. The voting results were as follows:

1. The proposal (the "merger proposal") to adopt the Merger Agreement, pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub will be merged with and into ODP, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will cease, and ODP will survive the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the "Merger"):

| 22,540,259 | 25,192 | 90,736 | 0 |

---

2. The proposal to approve, on a non-binding, advisory basis, certain compensation that will or may be paid by ODP to its named executive officers that is based on or otherwise relates to the Merger:

|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Votes For** | **Votes Against** | **Abstentions** | **Broker Non-Votes** |
| 15,977,944 | 6,082,561 | 595,682 | 0 |

---

3. In connection with the ODP Special Meeting, the board of directors of ODP also solicited proxies with respect to the proposal to adjourn the ODP Special Meeting from time to time, as determined in accordance with the Merger Agreement by the board of directors of ODP, including for the purpose of soliciting additional votes for the approval of the merger proposal if there were insufficient votes at the time of the ODP Special Meeting to approve the merger proposal (the "Adjournment Proposal"). The Adjournment Proposal was not submitted to ODP stockholders for approval at the ODP Special Meeting because a quorum of stockholders entitled to vote at the ODP Special Meeting was present or represented by proxy and the ODP stockholders approved the merger proposal.

Assuming timely satisfaction of the remaining customary closing conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, the closing of the Merger is expected to occur on December 10, 2025. Trading of ODP Common Stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market is expected to be halted before the opening of the market on the closing date, and upon the closing of the Merger ODP Common Stock will be delisted from the Nasdaq Global Select Market.
