Item 9B. Other Information
On July 23,
2024, our Board
of Directors (“Board”)
approved and adopted,
effective as of
July 23,
2024, the Company’s Amended
and Restated Bylaws (as amended and restated, the “Bylaws”). The amendments to
the Bylaws, among other things:
Modify the Bylaws to
more closely align with
the current Delaware General
Corporation Law (the “DGCL”)
and current
practices,
provisions
related
to
meetings
held
by
remote
communications,
accessing
the
stockholder
list,
providing for consents,
notices and other
communications by means
of electronic transmission, addressing
uncertificated
shares, adding
that a determination
whether indemnification
is proper
may also
be made
by a
committee of
non-party
directors even though less than a
quorum, and deleting the requirement for an
“Annual Statement” at the annual meeting
of stockholders.
Add
the
Chairman
of
the
Board
as
a
person
entitled
to
call
a
special
meeting
of
stockholders
and
specify
that
the
Chairman of the Board, or such other person designated by him or the
Board, will preside at stockholders’ meetings.
Amend Article VII
to make
advancement of expenses
(including attorneys’ fees)
incurred by current
and former directors
and
officers
in
defending
actions,
suits
or
against
them
mandatory
(subject
to
their
of
an
undertaking to
repay if it
is ultimately determined
that they are
not entitled to
be indemnified),
and to provide
that the
indemnification and expense advancement rights in the
bylaws are not the exclusive means by which a person could be
entitled to such rights.
Add new Article
VIII to provide
that, unless the
Company consents in
writing to the
selection of an
alternative forum,
the Court of Chancery
of the State of
Delaware (or if such
court does not have
subject matter jurisdiction
another state
or federal court (as appropriate) located within the State
of Delaware) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, be the
sole and exclusive
forum for (i) any
derivative action or
proceeding brought on
behalf of the Company;
(ii) any action
asserting a
claim of
breach of
a fiduciary
duty owed
by any
current or
former director,
officer
or other
employee, or
stockholder of the Company to
the Company or its stockholders, creditors
or other constituents; (iii) any
action asserting
a claim against the
Company or any current
or former director, officer, employee, or stockholder of the
Company arising
pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or
the certificate of incorporation or the bylaws (as they may be amended and/or
restated
from
time
to
time)
or
as
to
which
the
DGCL
confers
jurisdiction
on
the
Court
of
Chancery
of
the
State
of
Delaware; or (iv) any action asserting a claim
governed by the internal affairs doctrine. A stockholder bringing any such
action will
be deemed
to have
consented to
the personal
jurisdiction of
the state
and federal
courts located
within the
State of Delaware and to service
of process on such stockholder’s
counsel in such action as agent for
such stockholder.
To the fullest extent permitted
by law, any person or entity purchasing
or otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in
shares
of
capital
stock
of
the
Company
shall
be
deemed
to
have
notice
of
and
consented
to
the
provisions
of
this
paragraph.
In
certain
other
technical,
ministerial,
clarifying
and
conforming
changes
were
made
to
the
Bylaws.
The
foregoing
description of the
amendments to
the Company’s Bylaws is
not intended to
be complete and
is qualified in
all respects
by reference
to the text of the Bylaws,
a copy of which is filed

Report on Form 10-K and
