RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM</div>

The Audit Committee appoints and determines whether
to re-engage the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm based on its qualifications, performance, and independence.
When evaluating the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, the Audit Committee considers the quality, proficiency,
and cost-effectiveness of the firm’s services, the industry knowledge, experience in auditing public company financials, performance,
and responsiveness of the lead audit partner and the audit team assigned to the Company’s account, and the firm’s overall
reputation and knowledge of the Company’s operations.

Our independent registered public accounting firm
for the 2024 fiscal year was the firm of WithumSmith+Brown, PC (“Withum”). After considering the factors listed
above, among others, the Audit Committee has re-appointed Withum to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting
firm for the 2025 fiscal year. Representatives of Withum are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting with the opportunity to make
a statement if they desire to do so and are expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions.

The ratification of the appointment of the Company’s
independent auditor is not a matter that is required to be submitted to a vote of stockholders, but as a matter of good corporate governance,
the Board considers it appropriate for the stockholders to express whether they ratify the appointment. If stockholder ratification is
not obtained, the Board would consider an alternative appointment for the succeeding fiscal year.

Vote Required

The ratification of the appointment of WithumSmith+Brown,
PC as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present
and entitled to vote thereon. Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote AGAINST this proposal. Broker non-votes are not expected
for this proposal because we believe this matter is a routine matter. If there were to be any broker non-votes they would have no effect
on this proposal.
