Item 5.08 Shareholder Director Nominations. The Board of the Company has established November 21, 2025, as the date for the Company's 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting"). The Board also established October 14, 2025, as the record date for the Annual Meeting. Due to the fact that the Company did not hold an annual meeting of stockholders in 2024, the Company is providing the due date for submission of any qualified stockholder proposal or director nominations. Stockholders of the Company who wish to have a proposal considered for inclusion in the Company's proxy materials for the 2025 Annual Meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), must ensure that such proposal is received by the Company's Secretary at its principal executive offices on or before the close of business on October 24, 2025, which the Company has determined to be a reasonable time before it expects to begin to print and send its proxy materials in accordance with Rule 14a-8(e) under the Exchange Act. Any such proposal must also meet the requirements set forth in the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission in order to be eligible for inclusion in the proxy materials for the Annual Meeting. In addition, in accordance with the requirements contained in the Company's Amended and Restated Bylaws, stockholders of the Company who wish to bring business before the Annual Meeting outside of Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act or to nominate a person for election as a director must ensure that written notice of such proposal (including all information specified in the Company's Amended and Restated Bylaws) is received by the Company's Secretary at the Company's principal executive offices no later than the close of business on October 25, 2025.
