 incorporated into this Item 7.01 by reference.

The information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1
attached hereto, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference
in any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

| Item 8.01 | Other Events. |

The Company currently plans to hold its 2025 Annual Meeting
of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) on June 26, 2025. The Company has set the record date for determining the shareholders
of record who will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting as the close of business on May 16, 2025. The time and location of the Annual
Meeting will be as set forth in the Company’s definitive proxy statement for the Annual Meeting to be filed with the SEC. Because
the scheduled date of the Annual Meeting is more than 30 days before the anniversary of the Company’s 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders
held on December 18, 2024, established deadlines regarding the submission of shareholder proposals pursuant to Rule 14a-8 (“Rule
14a-8”) under the Exchange Act for the Annual Meeting are no longer applicable. The Company is hereby providing notice of certain
deadlines for the submission of shareholder proposals in connection with the Annual Meeting in accordance with Rule 14a-5(f) under the
Exchange Act, and is informing shareholders of the new dates described below for submitting shareholder proposals and other matters.

A shareholder intending to present (i) a proposal to be
included in the proxy statement for the Annual Meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8 or (ii) any director nomination or other proposal that any
shareholder intends to present at the Annual Meeting but not seek to have included in the proxy materials pursuant to Rule 14a-8, must
deliver the proposal or nomination in writing to the Company’s Secretary at its corporate office at 900 Bedford Street, Stamford,
CT, 06901 no later than a reasonable time before we begin to print and mail the proxy materials for the Annual Meeting. To be considered
for inclusion in this year’s proxy materials for the Annual Meeting, shareholder proposals must be submitted in writing on or before
the close of business on May
