#### PROPOSAL ONE

#### ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
Following the Annual Meeting, the Board of Directors will be comprised of five members, divided into three classes. As provided in the Company's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, each class of directors serves for a three-year term and until their successors are elected and have qualified. Accordingly, the Board has nominated Alex Papageorgiou and Mihalis Boutaris, each as a Class III director, for re-election as directors whose term would expire at the Company's 2028 annual meeting.

Unless the proxy is marked to indicate that such authorization is expressly withheld, the persons named in the enclosed proxy intend to vote the shares authorized thereby FOR the election of the following three nominees. It is expected that each of these nominees will be able to serve, but if before the election it develops that any of the nominees is unavailable, the persons named in the accompanying proxy will vote for the election of such substitute nominee or nominees as the current Board may recommend.

*Audit Committee*. The Company's Board has established an Audit Committee, composed of two independent members of its board of directors, who are responsible for reviewing the Company's accounting controls, recommending to the board of directors the engagement of its external auditors and pre-approving audit and audit-related services and fees. As directed by its written charter, the Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing all related party transactions for potential conflicts of interest and all related party transactions are subject to the approval of the Audit Committee. Alex Papageorgiou serves as the Chairperson of the Audit Committee and Mihalis Boutaris serves as a member. The Company believes that Mr. Papageorgiou qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert," as such term is defined under Securities and Exchange Commission rules.

*Corporate Governance Practices*. As the Company is a foreign private issuer, it is exempt from the Nasdaq corporate governance rules, other than the requirements regarding the disclosure of a going concern audit opinion, submission of a listing agreement, notification to Nasdaq of non-compliance with Nasdaq corporate governance practices, and the establishment of an audit committee satisfying Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(3) and ensuring that such audit committee's members meet the independence requirement of Listing Rule 5605(c)(2)(A)(ii).

*Required Vote*. Directors will be elected on a plurality basis, as provided under the Company's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation. This means that the director nominee receiving the greatest number of votes cast "FOR" their election will be elected.

*Effect of Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes.* Abstentions, "WITHHOLD" votes and any broker non-votes will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum at the Meeting for this vote but will have no effect on the outcome of the vote other than resulting in the applicable nominee(s) receiving fewer votes cast "FOR" such nominee(s).
