 23, 2025, which the Company believes to be a reasonable deadline under the applicable rules of the Exchange
Act. In addition to complying with such deadline, shareholder proposals intended to be considered for inclusion in the Company’s
proxy materials for the Annual Meeting must also comply with Connecticut law, the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, as well
as all applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC under the Exchange Act. Any director nominations and shareholder proposals
received after such deadline will be considered untimely and will not be considered for inclusion in the proxy materials for the Annual
Meeting nor will it be considered at the Annual Meeting. The public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of the date of the
Annual Meeting will not commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for submitting a proposal pursuant to Rule 14a-8. In addition,
to comply with the universal proxy rules, shareholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Company’s
nominees must provide notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act by May 29, 2025, the tenth
calendar day following the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K publicly announcing the date of the Annual Meeting.
