The Charter Amendments became effective upon the filing of a Certificate of Amendment (the “Certificate of Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on April 29, 2026.

The Board also approved certain amendments to the Company’s Restated By-Laws (as amended, the “Amended and Restated By-Laws”), including certain limited technical changes related to the advance notice provisions to clarify certain procedural requirements with respect to director nominations and proposals of business. The Amended and Restated By-laws became effective on April 28, 2026.
