Item 8.01. Other Events.

While it was permissible under the applicable securities laws for directors and officers of the Company to purchase and sell securities of the Company, on February 24, 2023, all of the executive officers and directors of the Company entered into a binding trading plan (the "10b5-1 Plan"). The executive officers and directors participating in the 10b5-1 Plan are Jeffrey Holman, John A. Ollet, Christopher Santi, Clifford J. Friedman and Dr. Anthony Panariello. There will be a two-year period where sales of the Company's common stock may occur pursuant to the 10b5-1 Plan.

Rule 10b5-1 permits corporate officers, directors and others to adopt written, pre-arranged stock trading plans when they are not in possession of material, non-public information. Using these plans, insiders may gradually diversify their investment portfolios and spread stock trades over a period of time regardless of any material, non-public information they may receive after adopting their plans. In accordance with the 10b5-1 rules, the officers and directors will have no discretion over the sales of their shares of common stock under the 10b5-1 Plan.

Pursuant to the 10b5-1 Plan, certain shares of the Company's common stock held by these officers and directors will be sold on a periodic basis without further direction from him in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the 10b5-1 Plan, which includes minimum sale price thresholds. The 10b5-1 Plan is designed to comply with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Company's insider trading policy. Transactions made pursuant to the 10b5-1 Plan will be disclosed publicly through Form 144 and Form 4 filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Except as may be required by law, the Company does not undertake to report on specific Rule 10b5-1 plans of the Company's officers or directors, nor to report modifications or terminations of such plans.
