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

On December 18, 2014, Zillow, Inc. (“Zillow”) held a special meeting of shareholders (the “Special Meeting”). At the Special Meeting, Zillow’s shareholders approved the previously announced Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 28, 2014 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Zillow, Zebra Holdco, Inc. (“Holdco”), and Trulia, Inc. (“Trulia”). Following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, Zillow and Trulia will become wholly owned subsidiaries of Holdco. The shareholders of Zillow approved the authorization of nonvoting Class C capital stock in Holdco’s amended and restated articles of incorporation (“Class C Authorization”). Zillow shareholders also voted to approve the adjournment of the Special Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if there were insufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to approve the Merger Agreement or to approve the Class C Authorization; adjournment was not necessary because there were sufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to approve the Merger Agreement and the Class C Authorization.

At the Special Meeting, holders of 23,634,963 shares of Zillow Class A common stock, which represents approximately 68.61% of the shares of Zillow Class A common stock outstanding and entitled to vote as of the record date of November 5, 2014 (the “Record Date”), and holders of 6,217,447 shares of Zillow Class B common stock, which represents 100% of the shares of Zillow Class B common stock outstanding and entitled to vote as of the Record Date, were represented in person or by proxy.

The final voting results for each proposal, each of which is described in greater detail in Zillow’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 18, 2014, follow below:
