The filing of the Certificate of Amendment was approved by the shareholders of the Company at the Special Meeting of Shareholders held on April 7, 2021, as disclosed in the Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 4, 2021.

On July 6, 2021, the Company filed a Certificate of Correction to the Certificate of Amendment, to correct a typographical error in the Certificate of Amendment.
