Item 5.08 Shareholder Director Nominations.

On March 31, 2023, the Company announced that its 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2023 Annual Meeting”) is scheduled to be held at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time on Friday, June 9, 2023. The record date for the 2023 Annual Meeting will be April 14, 2023. Only stockholders of record as of the close of business on the record date will be entitled to vote at the 2023 Annual Meeting, or any adjournment or postponement thereof. The 2023 Annual Meeting will be a virtual meeting, conducted as a live webcast.

Pursuant to the provisions of the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”), for any stockholder to propose business (other than pursuant to and in compliance with Exchange Act Rule 14a-8) or make a nomination before the 2023 Annual Meeting, the stockholder must have given timely notice in writing to the secretary of the Company and any such nomination or proposed business must constitute a proper matter for stockholder action. Under our Bylaws, because no annual meeting was held last year, any stockholder notice for purposes of the 2023 Annual Meeting must be received by the secretary of the Company not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the filing of this Current Report on Form 8-K, which is April 10, 2023.
