(a) At the annual meeting of stockholders (the "***Annual Meeting***") of the Company held on April 28, 2026, stockholders (i) elected two Class I director nominees to the Company's board of directors to serve three-year terms until the 2029 annual meeting of stockholders or until his successor has been duly elected and qualified or such director's earlier death, resignation, or removal ("***Proposal 1***"); and (ii) ratified the appointment of Baker Tilly US, LLP as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026 ("***Proposal 2***").

For Proposal 1, the two nominees receiving the highest number of "FOR" votes at the Annual Meeting were elected as Class I directors. Proposal 2 required the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of shares entitled to vote and present at the Annual Meeting, virtually via the internet or by proxy. The proposals are described in detail in the Company's [definitive proxy statement filed on April 2, 2026](https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/0001506492/000153949726001081/n5708_x1-def14a.htm) with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

A total of 1,078,020 shares of the Company's common stock were present at the Annual Meeting virtually or by proxy, which represents approximately 43.81% of the shares of common stock outstanding as of the record date for the Annual Meeting.
