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

At a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”)

held on August 6, 2026, the stockholders of Katapult Holdings, Inc. (“Katapult”) voted to approve the proposals as

set forth below. The proposals are described in detail in Katapult’s definitive proxy statement/prospectus filed on Form 424B3 with

the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 7, 2026 (the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”). The voting results regarding

each proposal, as determined by Katapult’s Inspector of Election, are set forth below. As of the close of business on July 6, 2026,

the record date of the Special Meeting, there were 5,074,343 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Katapult (the “Katapult

Common Stock”), outstanding, each of which was entitled to one vote on each proposal at the Special Meeting. At the Special

Meeting, a total of 3,273,271 shares of Katapult Common Stock, representing approximately 64.5% of the outstanding shares of Katapult

Common Stock entitled to vote, were present or represented by proxy, constituting a quorum to conduct business. As described in the Proxy

Statement/Prospectus, HHCF Series 21 Sub, LLC (“Hawthorn”) was entitled to be treated as if it were the holder of 281,938

shares of Katapult Common Stock for purposes of the Special Meeting, due to its holdings of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par

value $0.0001 per share, (the “Series A Convertible Preferred Stock”) of Katapult. For ease, references in this Current

Report on Form 8-K to shares outstanding, quorum requirements for the Special Meeting, and voting results for each proposal are written

solely by reference to Katapult Common Stock, and will assume for this purpose that Hawthorn is, by virtue of its ownership of 35,000

shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the owner of 281,938 shares of Katapult Common Stock (in addition to any other shares

of Katapult Common Stock it owns), which shares of Katapult Common Stock were assumed to be outstanding and entitled to one vote per share

on each proposal. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Proxy

Statement/Prospectus.

Proposal No. 1: To approve the issuance of Katapult Common Stock

to the CCFI unitholders, CCFI MIP Holders, holders of CCFI Warrants (assuming cashless exercise before Closing), holders of CCFI Phantom

Units, Aaron’s stockholders and Aaron’s MIP Holders in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement and the change of

control resulting from the Mergers pursuant to NASDAQ Rules 5635(a) and 5635(b) (the “Stock Issuance Proposal”).

The Stock Issuance Proposal was approved by the requisite vote of Katapult’s

stockholders.

to which at least 9,000,000 shares of Katapult Common Stock will be authorized for issuance (the “2026 Plan Proposal”).

stockholders.

Adjournment of the Special Meeting was deemed not necessary because

there was a quorum present and there were sufficient proxies at the time of the Special Meeting to approve the Stock Issuance Proposal.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as

of December 11, 2025 by and among by and among Katapult, Katapult Merger Sub 1, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned indirect

subsidiary of Katapult, Katapult Merger Sub 2, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Katapult,

CCF Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“CCFI”), and Aaron’s Intermediate Holdco, Inc., a Delaware corporation

(“Aaron’s”) (the “Merger Agreement”), the completion of the proposed transactions remains subject to certain

closing conditions, including (1) the absence of any law or governmental order preventing the consummation of the proposed transactions,

(2) the shares of Katapult Common Stock to be issued in the proposed transactions having been approved for listing on NASDAQ, subject

only to official notice of issuance, (3) the accuracy of the parties’ representations and warranties, subject to certain standards

set forth in the Merger Agreement, (4) compliance in all material respects with the parties’ obligations under the Merger Agreement,

(5) the absence of a continuing material adverse effect with respect to each of Katapult, CCFI and Aaron’s and (6) delivery and

execution of certain documents by the parties.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This document contains “forward-looking statements” within

the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act

of 1995. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, and actual results might differ materially from those

discussed in, or implied by, the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on the current beliefs and assumptions

of the management of Katapult, CCFI and Aaron’s, respectively, and can often be identified by terms and phrases that include “anticipate,”

“believe,” “intend,” “estimate,” “expect,” “continue,” “should,”

“would,” “could,” “may,” “plan,” “project,” “predict,” “will,”

“potential,” “forecast,” “target,” “guidance,” “outlook,” or other similar

terminology. Various factors may cause actual results to be materially different than the suggested outcomes within forward-looking statements.

Accordingly, there is no assurance that such results will be realized. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the events

described in the forward-looking statements included in this document might not occur or might occur to a different extent or at a different

time than described. Actual results may differ materially from the current expectations of Katapult, CCFI and Aaron’s depending

on a number of factors affecting their businesses and risks associated with the successful execution of the proposed transactions. In

evaluating these forward-looking statements, you should carefully consider the risks described herein. Factors that could have a material

adverse effect on operations and future prospects or that could cause events or circumstances to differ from the forward-looking statements

include, but are not limited to: (i) the outcome and impact of the proposed transactions, including Katapult, CCFI and Aarons’ ability

to recognize the anticipated objectives and benefits thereof; (ii) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could

give rise to the right of one or all of Katapult, CCFI and Aaron’s to terminate the Merger Agreement; (iii) the possibility that

the proposed transactions do not close when expected or at all because the conditions to closing are not received or satisfied on a timely

basis or at all; (iv) the potential disruptions the proposed transactions may cause in the business operations of Katapult, CCFI and Aaron’s;

(v) potential adverse effects of the proposed transactions on the business relationships of Katapult, CCFI and Aaron’s while the

proposed transactions are pending; and (vi) changes in Katapult’s share price following the closing of the proposed transactions.

These risks, as well as other risks associated with the proposed transactions, are more fully discussed in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

While the list of factors presented here and in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus are considered representative, no such list should be considered

to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. Unlisted factors may present significant additional obstacles to

the realization of forward-looking statements. Consequences of material differences in results as compared with those anticipated in the

forward-looking statements could include, among other things, business disruption, operational problems, financial loss, legal liability

to third parties and similar risks, any of which could have a material adverse effect on Katapult’s, CCFI’s or Aaron’s

consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. None of Katapult, CCFI or Aaron’s assumes any obligation to

publicly provide revisions or updates to any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments or

otherwise, should circumstances change, except as otherwise required by securities and other applicable laws.
