Adjournment of Annual Meeting
On June 18, 2024, we announced that we have adjourned our 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) due to the lack of a required quorum.

We have hired Morrow Sodali LLC to solicit proxies with respect to the Annual Meeting. We will pay Morrow Sodali LLC a fee of $10,000, plus reasonable expenses. Morrow Sodali LLC will, among other things, provide advice regarding proxy solicitation issues and solicit proxies from our shareholders on our behalf in connection with the Annual Meeting.
