The shareholders were asked to vote on four proposals, each of which is described in more detail in the Proxy Statement. Set forth below are the matters acted upon by the shareholders and the final voting results of each such proposal.
| 1. | Approval of an amendment to the Company’s Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 100,000,000 shares to 1,000,000,000 (the “Charter Proposal”): |

| 2. | Approval of an amendment to the Company’s Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, or the Certificate of Incorporation, to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s outstanding common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, at a ratio of not less than 1-for-2 and not more than 1-for-50, such ratio to be determined in the sole discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors, without a corresponding reduction in the Company’s authorized shares, and to be effective upon a date determined by the Board of Directors no later than December 31, 2026 (the “Reverse Stock Split Proposal”): |

| 13,649,262 | 3,425,245 | 53,331 | ||||||||
| 4. | Approval of an adjournment of the Special Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes in favor of the Charter Proposal, the Reverse Stock Split Proposal and/or the OIP Proposal or to establish a quorum (the “Adjournment Proposal”): |
| Shares | ||||||||||
| For | Against | Abstain | ||||||||
| 14,039,730 | 2,563,581 | 524,527 | ||||||||
Although the Adjournment Proposal was approved, the adjournment of the Special Meeting was not necessary because the shareholders approved the Charter Proposal, the Reverse Stock Split Proposal, and the OIP Proposal.
