On November 14, 2023, the Company held a Special Meeting of Shareholders (the “Special Meeting”) in Hanover, Maryland. Present at the Special Meeting in person or by proxy were holders of shares of common stock of the Company, representing a majority of the voting power of the common stock of the Company issued and outstanding and entitled to vote as of the close of business on September 25, 2023, the record date for the Meeting (the “Record Date”), and constituting a quorum for the transaction of business. The shareholders approved a proposal to grant the Board of Directors discretionary authority to amend the Company’s Fourth Amended and Restated 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-5 and not more than 1-for-30, 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 March 18, 2024 (the “Reverse Stock Split Proposal”).

A total of 15,258,183 shares of the Company’s Common Stock were present at the meeting in person or by proxy, which represented approximately 62.0% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock as of the Record Date.
