At the Special Meeting, there were 6,200,043 shares of common stock represented in person or by proxy of the 9,747,663 shares of common stock entitled to be cast, constituting a quorum. The Company’s stockholders voted on the three proposals listed below, which proposals are described in detail in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on August 24, 2026 (the“Proxy Statement”***), which is incorporated by reference herein. The final votes on the proposals presented at the Special Meeting are as follows:

As a result, Proposal 1, the amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 25,000,000 to up to 150,000,000 shares at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors, was approved by the Company’s stockholders.

PROPOSAL 3: TO APPROVE ONE OR MORE ADJOURNMENTS OF THE SPECIAL MEETING, IF NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE, TO SOLICIT ADDITIONAL PROXIES IF THERE ARE INSUFFICIENT VOTES AT THE TIME OF THE SPECIAL MEETING TO APPROVE PROPOSAL 1 OR PROPOSAL 2.

As a result, Proposal 3, the proposal to approve one or more adjournments of the Special Meeting to solicit additional proxies, was approved by the Company’s stockholders.
