In accordance with the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, its Amended and Restated Bylaws and that certain Investor Rights Agreement entered into in connection with the previously announced business combination that completed on December 29, 2020, the vacancy on the Board and Compensation Committee of the Board resulting from Mr. Carlin’s resignation will remain unfilled until such time as a new director is identified and appointed.
