- Stockholder Vote Results: At a special meeting on December 9, 2020, stockholders approved Proposal 2, granting the Board discretionary authority to adjourn the meeting to solicit additional proxies.

Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
The primary driver for the proposed reverse stock split is to increase the common stock price to meet the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Stock Market. The Company received a letter from Nasdaq on December 2, 2020, staying the stipulation to comply with the minimum bid price requirement by December 23, 2020, pending a review by the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council. Management plans to hold an investor call on December 17, 2020, to review developments since the proxy statement was filed.
