Material Changes and Shareholder Actions
Stockholders approved five key proposals at the Annual Meeting:

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
The filing contains no management commentary on financial guidance, future outlook, or specific risk factors beyond the standard disclosures inherent in the reverse stock split authorization.
