Amendments to Bylaws

- Officer Powers: Section 6.1 was amended to clarify that officers have powers generally pertaining to their offices, subject to Article VI of the Bylaws and Board resolutions. In the event of a conflict, Board resolutions govern.

Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the full text of the Second Amended and Restated Bylaws (Exhibit 3.1) to understand the specific legal language regarding stockholder list access and officer duties.
- Review the 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan details to assess potential dilution or compensation costs, as this plan was approved by a significant margin but faced notable opposition (approx. 22% against).
- Confirm the Board composition following the election of the seven directors, noting the varying levels of support for individual nominees.
- Check subsequent filings (e.g., 10-Q or 10-K) for the actual financial performance metrics, as this 8-K contains none.
