If the stockholders approve the adoption of the declassification of our Board of Directors pursuant to Proxy Item No. 1, the Declassification Certificate of Amendment shall further provide that upon effectiveness of the declassification of our Board of Directors in 2027, directors may be removed by stockholders with or without cause in conformity with the Section 141(k) of the Delaware General Corporation Law pursuant to the following amendments to Section 7.2 of the Certification of Incorporation:
The Certification of Incorporation as currently in effect is hereby amended effective as of the date of the Corporation’s 2027 annual meeting of stockholders by deleting therefrom in its entirety Section 7.2 of and inserting in lieu thereof the following:
7.2 Removal of Directors. Subject to the special rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding series of Preferred Stock, members of the Board may be removed with or without cause by the affirmative vote of not less than a majority of the voting power of all of the outstanding shares of capital stock then entitled to vote in the election of directors, voting together as a single class.
