Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies

The rejection of Proposal 3 indicates a constraint on the Company's ability to issue shares under the existing 2021 Stock Plan without further stockholder approval. The approval of the reverse stock split authority suggests management is considering measures to adjust the share structure, potentially to meet listing requirements or improve market perception.
