BIOT Biotech Acquisition Company

Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

On June 14, 2022, Biotech Acquisition Company, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“BAC”) convened and then adjourned indefinitely, without conducting any business (other than the Adjournment Proposal as described below), an extraordinary general meeting of its shareholders (the “Meeting”). The Meeting had previously been called with respect to BAC’s proposed business combination (the “Business Combination”) with Blade Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Blade”), and the other transactions (collectively with the Business Combination, the “Transactions”) contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 8, 2021 (as amended on May 17, 2022, the “Merger Agreement”), as further described in BAC’s definitive proxy statement/prospectus (the “Definitive Proxy Statement”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 9, 2022.

As previously disclosed, on June 10, 2022, the parties to the Merger Agreement entered into a Termination and Release Agreement (“Termination Agreement”) pursuant to which the Merger Agreement was terminated effective as of June 10, 2022.

By reason of the termination of the Merger Agreement pursuant to the Termination Agreement (i) the proposed Business Combination with Blade will not be consummated; (ii) none of the BAC Class A ordinary shares submitted for redemption will be redeemed; and (iii) at the Meeting, BAC presented the Adjournment Proposal (as described in the Definitive Proxy Statement) (for consideration and approval by BAC's shareholders but no other resolutions described in the Definitive Proxy Statement had been put to the shareholders for approval nor any other business voted on at the Meeting).

The solicitation of proxies by BAC pursuant to the Definitive Proxy Statement terminated effective with the termination of the Merger Agreement.

Present at the Meeting, in person or by proxy, were holders of 20,208,455 BAC ordinary shares, representing approximately 70.29% of the voting power of the holders of BAC ordinary shares as of March 28, 2022 (the “Record Date”), and constituting a quorum for the transaction of business. As of the Record Date, 28,750,000 BAC ordinary shares, including 23,000,000 BAC Class A ordinary shares and 5,750,000 BAC Class B ordinary shares, were issued and outstanding and holders thereof were entitled to vote at the Meeting. The sole proposal that was presented at the Meeting was “The Adjournment Proposal”, as described in the Definitive Proxy Statement. The BAC shareholders approved the Adjournment Proposal. For the avoidance of doubt, the board of directors of BAC does not intend to reconvene the Meeting, as all other proposals in the Definitive Proxy Statement which could properly be considered by the Meeting related to the Transactions. The Transactions could not in any event be consummated, as a result of the Termination Agreement.

The voting results were as follows:

The chairman of the Meeting declared that the Meeting be adjourned indefinitely.
