Governance changes, outlook, and risks
- The amended and restated certificate of incorporation was filed with Delaware on November 16, 2023, and the amended and restated bylaws became effective in connection with the IPO closing.
- The board may authorize preferred stock and set its terms without stockholder approval, which could dilute or adversely affect existing stockholders and could be used as an anti-takeover measure.

- Stockholder action by written consent is prohibited, and advance-notice procedures apply to director nominations and other stockholder proposals. These provisions may make a change in control or stockholder-led governance action more difficult.
