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

On October 16, 2026, Rekor Systems, Inc. (the "Company") held its 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting"). The Annual Meeting was originally convened on May 15, 2026 and was adjourned, for want of a quorum, to September 11, 2026 and again to October 16, 2026, in each case with the same record date of March 25, 2026. As previously reported in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 6, 2026, on October 6, 2026 the Company’s Board of Directors amended Section 2.5 of the Company’s Bylaws to provide that the holders of at least forty percent (40%) of the shares entitled to vote, present in person or represented by proxy, constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at a meeting of stockholders.

As of the close of business on March 25, 2026, the record date for the Annual Meeting, 136,578,177 shares of the Company’s common stock were outstanding and entitled to vote. An aggregate of 62,498,652 shares held by holders of the Company’s voting stock, representing 45.76% of the shares entitled to vote and constituting a quorum under the Company’s Bylaws as amended, were represented in person or by valid proxy at the Annual Meeting. The final voting results for each of the proposals submitted to a vote of stockholders at the Annual Meeting, as certified by the inspector of election, are set forth below.

Proposal 1: Election of Directors

At the Annual Meeting, all six (6) nominees for director were elected to serve until the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified.
