Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes
The primary material change is the entry into an agreement with Jackson Square Advisors LLC, GT Investments II Corp, and Gilbert Nathan (collectively, the "Stockholders"). Key provisions include:
- Board Expansion: The Board agreed to increase its size to seven directors following the 2023 Annual Meeting.
- Director Appointment: Gilbert Nathan will be appointed as a director with a term expiring at the 2024 Annual Meeting and will serve on an ad hoc Strategic Review Committee.
- Observer Status: Until his formal appointment, Mr. Nathan may attend Board and committee meetings as a "board observer."
- Stockholder Commitments: The Stockholders agreed not to nominate candidates, submit proposals, or run "withhold" campaigns for the 2023 Annual Meeting. They committed to voting in favor of the Company's nominees and Board recommendations.
- Ownership Threshold: If the Stockholders' aggregate beneficial ownership falls below 125,000 shares, Mr. Nathan must tender his resignation, and the Company's obligations under the agreement will cease.
- Standstill: The Stockholders agreed to a customary standstill provision.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
The filing does not provide financial guidance, outlook, or management commentary on operational performance. The primary contingency identified is the ownership threshold: the agreement's obligations regarding Mr. Nathan's directorship are contingent upon the Stockholders maintaining an aggregate beneficial ownership of at least 125,000 shares of Common Stock.
