WaferGen Bio-systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:WGBS) Files An 8-K Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

On November 15, 2016, the WaferGen Bio-systems, Inc. (the
Company) held a special meeting of its stockholders (the Special
Meeting), having adjourned the Special Meeting on October 26,
2016, for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies to obtain
additional votes in favor of the proposal to adopt the merger
agreement to which the Company would become a wholly owned
subsidiary of Takara Bio USA Holdings, Inc. (Takara Bio USA).
13,500,100 shares of the Companys common stock were present in
person or by proxy at the meeting, representing approximately
71.32% of the 18,927,726 shares of common stock outstanding and
eligible to vote. The certified results of the matters voted upon
at the meeting, which are more fully described in the proxy
statement for the Special Meeting filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on September 15, 2016 (the Proxy Statement),
are as follows:

In connection with the Special Meeting, the Company also
solicited proxies with respect to the adjournment of the Special
Meeting to a later date or time, if necessary or appropriate, to
solicit additional proxies to approve Proposals 1, 2 and 3. As
there were sufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to
approve Proposals 1, 2 and 3, the adjournment or postponement of
the Special Meeting to solicit additional proxies for such
purpose was unnecessary and such proposal was not submitted to
the Companys stockholders for approval at the Special Meeting.

Upon the completion of the merger, which is subject to the
conditions set forth in the merger agreement, the Companys
outstanding equity securities will be automatically converted
into the right to receive a cash payment, as further described in
the Proxy Statement.

On November 15, 2016, the Company issued a press release
announcing the results of the Special Meeting. A copy of the
press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K and is
