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

On December 22, 2025, TrueCar, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company" or "TrueCar"), held a special meeting of stockholders (the "Special Meeting") to consider certain proposals related to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 14, 2025 (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified in accordance with its terms, the "Merger Agreement"), among the Company, Fair Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Parent"), and Rapid Merger Subsidiary, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent ("Merger Subsidiary"). Upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Subsidiary will be merged with and into the Company (the "Merger") with the Company surviving the Merger (the "Surviving Corporation") as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent.

As of the close of business on November 13, 2025, the record date of the Special Meeting, there were 88,940,050 shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share ("Common Stock"), outstanding, each of which was entitled to one vote with respect to each proposal voted on at the Special Meeting. A total of 70,119,700 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 78.83% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, were present virtually or represented by proxy, constituting a quorum to conduct business at the Special Meeting.

At the Special Meeting, the following proposals were considered:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. *Merger Proposal*: To approve and adopt the Merger Agreement pursuant to which, among other things, Merger Subsidiary will merge
with and into the Company, with the Company surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (the "Merger Proposal").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. *Advisory Compensation Proposal:* To approve, on a non-binding, advisory basis, the compensation that may be paid or become payable
to the Company's named executive officers that is based on or otherwise relates to the Merger (the "Advisory Compensation
Proposal").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. *Adjournment Proposal:* To approve one or more adjournments of the Special Meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies
if a quorum is not present or there are not sufficient votes cast at the Special Meeting to approve the Merger Proposal (the "Adjournment
Proposal").

Each of the proposals was approved by the requisite vote of the Company's stockholders. The final voting results for each proposal are set forth below.

***<u>Proposal 1: The Merger Proposal</u>***

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **For** | **Against** | **Abstentions** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;69,723,284 | &nbsp;&nbsp;84,731 | &nbsp;&nbsp;311,685 |

***<u>Proposal 2: The Advisory Compensation Proposal</u>***

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **For** | **Against** | **Abstentions** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;67,101,348 | &nbsp;&nbsp;2,783,000 | &nbsp;&nbsp;235,352 |

***<u>Proposal 3: The Adjournment Proposal</u>***

|:---|:---|:---|
| **For** | **Against** | **Abstentions** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;67,873,932 | &nbsp;&nbsp;1,934,500 | &nbsp;&nbsp;311,268 |

Although the Adjournment Proposal was approved, adjournment of the Special Meeting was not necessary or appropriate because the Company's stockholders approved the Merger Proposal.

Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the closing conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, the Merger is expected to close in January 2026.
