A copy of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation as filed with the Nevada Secretary of State is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.3, and the Company’s newly adopted Bylaws as a Nevada corporation are attached hereto as Exhibit 3.4, and both such exhibits are incorporated herein by reference.
The Reincorporation was approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Company’s annual meeting held on December 6, 2022 (the “Special Meeting”).
