Voting Results, Outlook, Risks, and Unusual Items

| Adjournment | Approved. |
A quorum of 860,486 shares, or approximately 50.57% of the 1,701,243 eligible outstanding shares, was represented. The authorized-share proposal will be reconsidered at a reconvened virtual meeting on January 22, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time. The record date remains December 6, 2023, and previously submitted proxies remain effective unless properly revoked.
The principal unusual item is the failure to approve the authorized-share increase, which could limit the company’s flexibility to issue additional equity or securities convertible into equity unless shareholders subsequently approve the proposal. The filing provides no separate management financial guidance or operating outlook.
