You are voting on the following matters:

1.** Reverse Split Proposal**. To approve an amendment to the Company's Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to grant our Board of Directors authority to effect a reverse stock split of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, at a reverse stock split ratio of between 1-for-2 to 1-for-30 (or any whole number in between) as determined by the Board in its sole discretion, prior to the one-year anniversary of this Special Meeting (the “Reverse Split Proposal”).

None of our directors have informed us in writing that he or she intends to oppose any action intended to be taken by us at the Special Meeting.

How many votes are required to hold the Special Meeting and what are the voting procedures?

Quorum Requirement: As of the Record Date, 5,261,782 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued and outstanding. The holders of one-third in voting power of the issued and outstanding shares entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, present or represented by proxy, constitutes a quorum for the purpose of adopting proposals at the Special Meeting. If you submit a properly executed proxy, then you will be considered part of the quorum.

Required Votes: Each outstanding share of our common stock is entitled to one vote on each proposal at the Special Meeting. If there is a quorum at the Special Meeting, the matters to be voted upon by the stockholders require the following votes for such matter to be approved:

If a broker indicates on its proxy that it submits to the Company that it does not have authority to vote certain shares held in “street name,” the shares not voted are referred to as “broker non-votes.” Broker non-votes occur when brokers do not have discretionary voting authority to vote certain shares held in “street name” on particular proposals under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, and the “beneficial owner” of those shares has not instructed the broker how to vote on those proposals. If you are a beneficial owner and you do not provide instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee, your broker, bank or other nominee is permitted to vote your shares for or against “routine” matters. Brokers are not permitted to exercise discretionary voting authority to vote your shares for or against “non-routine” matters.

How can I vote my shares in person and participate at the Special Meeting?

The Special Meeting will be held entirely online. Stockholders may participate in the Special Meeting by visiting the following website: https://meetnow.global/MTC9YLV.

You also will be able to vote your shares online by attending the Special Meeting by webcast.

If you plan to attend the meeting virtually by webcast, please follow the registration instructions as outlined in this proxy statement.

Shares held in your name as the stockholder of record may be voted electronically during the Special Meeting. Shares for which you are the beneficial owner but not the stockholder of record also may be voted electronically during the Special Meeting in accordance with the instructions from your broker, bank or other nominee. However, even if you plan to attend the Special Meeting online, the Company recommends that you vote your shares in advance, so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the Special Meeting.

What if I have trouble accessing the Special Meeting virtually?

The virtual meeting platform is fully supported across browsers (MS Edge, Firefox, Chrome and Safari) and devices (desktops, laptops, tablets and cell phones) running the most up-to-date version of applicable software and plugins. Note: Internet Explorer is not a supported browser. Participants should ensure that they have a strong Wi-Fi connection wherever they intend to participate in the meeting. We encourage you to access the meeting prior to the start time. For further assistance should you need it you may call Local 1-888-724-2416 or International +1 781-575-2748.

How can I vote my shares without attending the Special Meeting?

If you are the stockholder of record, you may vote by one of the following four methods:

If you elect to vote by mail and you requested and received a printed set of proxy materials, you may mark, sign, date and mail the proxy card you received from us in the return envelope. If you did not receive a printed proxy card and wish to vote by mail, you may do so by requesting a paper copy of the proxy materials (as described below), which will include a proxy card.

Whichever method of voting you use, the proxies identified on the proxy card will vote the shares of which you are the stockholder of record in accordance with your instructions. If you submit a proxy card properly voted and returned through available channels without giving specific voting instructions, the proxies will vote the shares as recommended by our Board.

If you own your shares in “street name,” that is, through a brokerage account or in another nominee form, you must provide instructions to the broker or nominee as to how your shares should be voted. Your broker or nominee will usually provide you with the appropriate instruction forms at the time you receive the proxy materials. If you own your shares in this manner, you cannot vote in person at the Special Meeting unless you receive a proxy to do so from the broker or the nominee.

How may I cast my vote over the Internet or by Telephone?

Voting over the Internet: If you are a stockholder of record, you may use the Internet to transmit your vote up until 11:59 P.M., Eastern Time, October 31, 2024 (the day before the Special Meeting). Visit www.envisionreports.com/VLCN and have your proxy card in hand when you access the website and follow the instructions to obtain your records and to create an electronic voting instruction form.

Voting by Telephone: If you are a stockholder of record, you may call 1-800-652-8683, toll-free in the United States, U.S. territories and Canada, and use any touch-tone telephone to transmit your vote up until 11:59 P.M., Eastern Time, October 31, 2024 (the day before the Special Meeting). Have your proxy card in hand when you call and then follow the instructions.

If you hold your shares in “street name,” that is through a broker, bank or other nominee, that institution will instruct you as to how your shares may be voted by proxy, including whether telephone or Internet voting options are available.

How may a stockholder bring any other business before the Special Meeting?

The Company’s Second Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) provide that the only matters that may be brought before a special meeting are the matters specified in the notice of meeting, and, as such, stockholders shall not be permitted to propose business at the Special Meeting.

How may I revoke or change my vote?

If you are the record owner of your shares, and you completed and submitted a proxy card, you may revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted at the Special Meeting by:

Please note that attendance at the Special Meeting will not, in itself, constitute revocation of your proxy.

If you own your shares in “street name,” you may later revoke your voting instructions by informing the bank, broker or other holder of record in accordance with that entity’s procedures.

Who is paying for the costs of this proxy solicitation?

The Company will bear the cost of preparing, printing and mailing the materials in connection with this solicitation of proxies. In addition to mailing these materials, officers and regular employees of the Company may, without being additionally compensated, solicit proxies personally and by mail, telephone, facsimile or electronic communication.

We have also engaged Okapi at an approximate cost of $20,000, to solicit proxies on behalf of the Company.

Are there any rights of appraisal?

The Board of Directors is not proposing any action for which the laws of the State of Delaware, our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or our Bylaws provide a right of a stockholder to obtain appraisal of or payment for such stockholder’s shares.

Who will count the votes?

The inspector of election appointed for the Special Meeting will receive and tabulate the ballots and voting instruction forms. The Board has appointed Computershare to serve as the inspector of election.
