Stockholders can attend the reconvened Special Meeting on December 18, 2023, via the same meeting link as set forth in the Definitive Proxy Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 8, 2023. The record date as of the close of business on November 6, 2023, remains unchanged for the determination of stockholders of the Company entitled to notice of and to vote at the reconvened Special Meeting and any adjournments or postponements thereof.
The Company encourages any stockholder that has not yet voted its shares or is uncertain if their shares have been voted to contact their broker or bank. The board of directors and management respectfully request stockholders as of the record date to please vote their proxies as soon as possible. Stockholders who have previously submitted their proxy or otherwise voted for the Special Meeting and who do not want to change their vote need not take any action.
No changes have been made to the proposals to be voted on by stockholders at the Special Meeting. The Company urges all of its stockholders to read the Proxy Statement relating to the Special Meeting, which is available free of charge on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
