On April 30, 2024, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) to consider and vote on (1) a proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement (the “Merger Agreement Proposal”) and (2) a proposal to approve one or more adjournments of the Special Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary or advisable, to permit further solicitation of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes to adopt the Merger Agreement at the time of the Special Meeting (the “Adjournment Proposal”), which are described in more detail in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 18, 2024. As of the close of business on March 15, 2024, the record date for the Special Meeting, there were 124,843,024 shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding, each of which was entitled to one vote for each proposal at the Special Meeting. 91,115,905 shares of the Company’s common stock, representing approximately 73% of all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock entitled to vote, were present or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting, constituting a quorum to conduct business.
