The Second Restated Certificate became effective upon filing.

The foregoing summary of the Charter Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to (i) the description of the Charter Amendment set forth under the headings “Proposal No. 4: Approval of Amendment to our Restated Certificate of Incorporation to Limit the Liability of Certain Officers of the Company as Permitted by Recent Amendments to Delaware Law” of the Company’s definitive proxy statement as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on January 17, 2023 and (ii) the Certificate of Amendment and the Second Restated Certificate, copies of which are attached as Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.
