At the Annual Meeting, pursuant to the proposal regarding the election of directors (the “Election of Directors Proposal”), the Shareholders elected the five persons named in the Proxy Statement and whose names are included here as Exhibit 99, as directors of the Company for a three-year term expiring in 2026 or until their successor has been duly elected and qualified or until their earlier resignation, removal or death.
