 will have the same effect as an “AGAINST” vote on such matter. However, brokerage firms have authority to vote customers’ unvoted shares held by the firms in street name on this proposal. If a broker does not exercise this authority, such broker non-votes will have no effect on the results of this vote. The ratification of the selection of Stephano Slack LLC as our auditors for the year ending December 31, 2025, by our stockholders is not required under the DGCL, but the results of this vote will be considered by the Audit Committee in selecting auditors for future years. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee, at its discretion, may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

Board Recommendation

| 24 |

<div align='center'>PROPOSAL 4: ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL</div>

Our Board has approved a proposal to adjourn the
Annual Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies in the event that there are not sufficient
votes at the time of the Annual Meeting to approve any or all of the other proposals being voted on at the Annual Meeting.

Background and Purpose of the Proposal

In the Adjournment Proposal, we are asking stockholders
to authorize the holder of any proxy solicited by the Board to vote in favor of adjourning or postponing the Annual Meeting or any adjournment
or postponement thereof. If our stockholders approve this proposal, we could adjourn or postpone the Annual Meeting, and any adjourned
session of the Annual Meeting, to use the additional time to solicit additional proxies in favor of the other proposals being voted on
at the Annual Meeting.

Additionally, approval of the Adjournment Proposal
could mean that, in the event we receive proxies indicating that a majority of votes represented by the outstanding stock entitled to
vote at the Annual Meeting will be against any proposal, we could adjourn or postpone the Annual Meeting without a vote on the other
proposals and use the additional time to solicit the holders of those shares to change their vote in favor of such proposals.

Required Vote

The affirmative vote of a majority of the voting
power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on this proposal is required
to approve this proposal.
