The Company's stockholders approved a reverse stock split at a ratio of between 1-for-10 and 1-for-20 at the Company's Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on June 4, 2025. The Company's Board of Directors subsequently determined the final reverse split ratio on June 9, 2025.

The number of authorized shares of the Company's common stock will be reduced from 500,000,000 to 250,000,000.
The reverse stock split will affect all stockholders uniformly and will not alter any stockholder's percentage interest in equity, except to the extent that the reverse stock split would result in a stockholder owning a fractional share. No fractional shares will be issued, and if a stockholder would otherwise become entitled to a fractional share, they will be entitled to receive a cash payment in lieu of a fractional share.
