In light of the outcome of the stockholder vote on the frequency of future advisory votes on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers and its previous recommendation, the Company’s Board of Directors has determined to hold the advisory vote on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers every year until the next required vote on the frequency of such votes. Accordingly, the next stockholder advisory vote on executive compensation is expected to be held at the Company’s 2024 annual meeting of stockholders. The next advisory vote on the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation is required to occur no later than the Company’s 2029 annual meeting of stockholders.
