Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the specific terms of the Equity Plan amendments approved in Proposal 4 by reviewing the Definitive Proxy Statement filed on May 7, 2021.
- Note the relatively lower support (80.75%) for director Christopher C. Woodward compared to other nominees, which may warrant review of the Proxy Statement for context.
- Confirm the duration of the approved Equity Plan, which extends until June 10, 2024.
- Review the Company's most recent 10-K or 10-Q filings for actual financial performance metrics, as this 8-K contains none.
