The company intends to submit the amendment and restatement of the NOL Rights Plan for ratification by the company's shareholders at its 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. If shareholder ratification is not obtained by Dec. 1, 2024, the NOL Rights Plan will terminate on such date, if not earlier terminated as provided therein.

The amended and restated NOL Rights Plan also reflects various updates to reflect changes since the plan's adoption. Additional information about the amendment and restatement will be contained in reports on Form 8-K and Form 8-A/A that the company plans to file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
