Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On September 29, 2023, the Board approved a change in fiscal year end of the Company from February 28th to December 31st.

The Board's decision to change the fiscal year end was related to the Share Exchange Agreement. As a result of the Share Exchange Agreement and the other transactions contemplated thereunder, Proton Green is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Proton Green's financial statements will survive and become the post-transaction company's financial statements and the fiscal year end of Proton Green is December 31st; therefore, the Board approved the change in the Company’s fiscal year end.

Following such change, the date of the Company’s next fiscal year end is December 31, 2023. No transition report filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission is necessary since the Company is adopting the fiscal year of Proton Green. The audited financial statements of Proton Green as of and for the year and period ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and unaudited financial statements of Proton Green as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 have been included in Item 9.01 below.
