 Amendment is approved, stockholders will be permitted to act by written consent to the extent permitted under the DGCL. The Board believes this will have an effect of easing administrative burdens on the Company to call a meeting for matters requiring stockholder approval.

If stockholders approve this Proposal No. 4, the changes described in this Proposal No. 4 will become legally effective upon the filing of a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, which is expected to occur shortly following the annual meeting. However, even if stockholders approve this Proposal No. 4, our board of directors may, in its sole discretion, abandon this action without further stockholder action prior to the effectiveness of the filing of the Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation and, if abandoned, the changes reflected therein will not become effective. If stockholders do not approve this Proposal No. 4, our Certificate of Incorporation will not be amended, and the modifications described in this Proposal No. 4 will not take effect.

Required Vote

This Proposal 4 will be adopted and approved only if holders of a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote thereon at the annual meeting vote “FOR” this Proposal 4 at the annual meeting. Because the vote is based on the total number of shares outstanding rather than the votes cast at the annual meeting, your failure to vote, as well as an abstention from voting and a broker non-vote with respect to this Proposal, will have the same effect as a vote against this Proposal 4.

Recommendation of the Board

<div align='center'>OUR BOARD RECOMMENDS

A VOTE “FOR”PROPOSAL 4.</div>

Arun Jeldi, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, is our controlling stockholder, as he currently holds approximately 88.1% of our outstanding common stock as of June 2, 2025. As such, Mr. Jeldi would benefit from the ability to approve certain stockholder matters by written consent rather than at a duly called stockholder meeting. We do not believe that our other executive officers or directors have substantial interests in this proposal that are different from or greater than those of any other of our stockholders.
