Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Appointment of Certain Officers; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On September 26,2024, the Company issued 140,187 shares of the Company’s common stock to each of Miles Jennings, the Chief Financial Officer and Director, and Evan Sohn, the Executive Chairman and Director, pursuant to the approval by the Board of Directors and the shareholder vote on the Management Issuance as outlined in the Information Statement on Schedule 14C, dated August 2, 2024. The stock issuance is part of a compensatory arrangement previously approved by the Board on February 13, 2024, and as previously disclosed, to eliminate cash obligations contained in the severance provisions set by their employment agreements, with the Company agreeing to compensate each with $300,000 equivalent in stock compensation with pricing based on the 30-day moving average of the Company’s common stock. At the time of issuance on September 26, 2024, the number of shares issued was calculated based on a 30-day moving average stock price of $2.14 per share. These issuances were made as compensation for their services and in lieu of certain severance, bonus, and target payments that were eliminated as part of an agreement with the Company. The shares were issued as a restricted stock management issuance described above and are fully vested as of the date of issuance.
The shares of common stock issued in connection with the management issuance described above have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and were issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The issuance does not involve a public offering of securities, as the recipient is familiar with the Company's operations and financial condition, and there is no general solicitation or advertising for the securities issued. No underwriters, brokers, or dealers were involved in the transaction.
Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

In connection with the Company’s name change, the Board amended our bylaws to reflect the name change, effective as of October 1, 2024. No other changes were made to the bylaws.
Copies of the Certificate of Amendment of the Articles of Incorporation and the Amended and Restated Bylaws are attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and Exhibit 3.2, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.
