Commission, including the compensation tables and any related material disclosed in this Proxy Statement, is hereby APPROVED.”

The affirmative vote “For”
this proposal by the holders of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the matter
at the Annual Meeting is required to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers. Abstentions will
be counted towards the vote total and will have the same effect as a vote “against” this proposal. If you do not return voting
instructions to your broker by its deadline, this will result in a broker non-vote, which will have no effect on this proposal.

Therefore, this vote is advisory
and not binding on the Board or our Compensation Committee. Nevertheless, the views expressed by our stockholders, whether through this
vote or otherwise, are important to management and the Board, and accordingly, the Board and the Compensation Committee intend to consider
the results of this vote in making determinations in the future regarding executive compensation arrangements.

Unless the Board decides
to modify its policy regarding the frequency of soliciting advisory votes on the compensation of our named executive officers, the next
scheduled say-on-pay vote will be at the Company’s 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

advisory vote on the compensation of its named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to the SEC’s compensation disclosure rules,
such as Proposal 2 of this Proxy Statement. By voting on this Proposal 3, stockholders may indicate whether they would prefer an advisory
vote on named executive officer compensation once every, one, two, or three years. Alternatively, stockholders may abstain from casting
a vote. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) requires the Company
