Material Changes
The Board of Directors approved amended and restated Bylaws effective immediately. The material changes include:

- Article X Amendment: The voting standard for amending the Bylaws was changed to align with the Certificate of Incorporation, replacing the previous requirement for a two-thirds vote of outstanding shares.
