Quorum and Required Vote

A quorum of stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present at the meeting if a majority of the Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the Virtual Meeting is represented virtually at the Virtual Meeting or by proxy. Abstentions, votes marked “withheld” and broker non-votes will count as present for purposes of establishing a quorum.

In the election of directors, the four persons receiving the highest number of affirmative votes cast at the Virtual Meeting will be elected. Only shares that are voted in favor of a particular nominee will be counted toward that nominee’s achievement of a plurality. Shares present at the Meeting that are not voted for a particular nominee or shares present by proxy where the stockholder properly withheld authority to vote for such nominee will not be counted toward that nominee’s achievement of a plurality.

The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Virtual Meeting by the holders of Common Stock entitled to vote is required to approve on a non-binding advisory basis the compensation of our named executive officers. With respect to an abstention, the shares will be considered present and entitled to vote at the Virtual Meeting, but they will have no effect on the vote of this proposal.

The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Virtual Meeting is required to ratify the Auditor as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending October 31, 2025. Abstentions will have no effect on the ratification of the appointment of the Auditor. Brokers may use their discretion to vote shares held by them of record for this proposal if they have not been provided with voting instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares of Common Stock.

In the determination of the frequency of conducting future stockholder advisory votes on named executive officer compensation, the frequency receiving the highest number of affirmative votes at the Virtual Meeting will be deemed to the be frequency selected by our stockholders. Only shares that are voted in favor of a particular frequency will be counted toward that frequency’s achievement of a plurality. Shares present at the Virtual Meeting that are not voted for a particular frequency or shares present by proxy where the stockholder properly withheld authority to vote for such frequency will not be counted toward that frequency’s achievement of a plurality. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the determination of the frequency of conducting future stockholder advisory votes on named executive officer compensation.
