AUTHORIZATION BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

AND THE MAJORITY SHAREHOLDERS

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law and the Company’s Bylaws, any action that can be taken at an annual or special meeting of shareholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that will be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted to consent to such action in writing. The approval of the Approval of Certificate of Incorporation Amendment for Split and the Approval of Certificate of Incorporation Amendment for Increase in Authorized Shares requires the affirmative vote or written consent of a majority of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of stock. Each holder of Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share of Common Stock held of record on any matter which may properly come before the shareholders.

On the Record Date, the Company had 20,1992,114 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, with the holders thereof being entitled to cast one vote per share. On August 12, 2024, the Majority Shareholders adopted resolutions approving the Approval of Certificate of Incorporation Amendment for Split and the Approval of Certificate of Incorporation Amendment for Increase in Authorized Shares.

CONSENTING SHAREHOLDERS

On August 12, 2024, the Majority Shareholders, being the record holder of 11,395,682 shares of Common Stock adopted resolutions, among other things, approving the adoption of the Approval of Certificate of Incorporation Amendment for Split and the Approval of Certificate of Incorporation Amendment for Increase in Authorized Shares. The voting power held by the Majority Shareholders represented approximately 52.93% of the total voting power of all issued and outstanding stock of the Company as of the Record Date.

We are not seeking written consent from any other shareholder of the Company, and the other shareholders will not be given an opportunity to vote with respect to the Approval of Certificate of Incorporation Amendment for Split and the Approval of Certificate of Incorporation Amendment for Increase in Authorized Shares. All necessary corporate approvals have been obtained. This Information Statement is furnished solely for the purposes of advising shareholders of the action taken by Written Consent and giving shareholders notice of such actions taken as required by the Exchange Act.

As the Approval of Certificate of Incorporation Amendment for Split and the Approval of Certificate of Incorporation Amendment for Increase in Authorized Shares actions were taken by Written Consent, there will be no security holders’ meeting and representatives of the principal accountants for the current year and for the most recently completed fiscal year will not have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and will not be available to respond to appropriate questions from our shareholders.

APPROVAL OF CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AMENDMENT TO EFFECT A REVERSE STOCK SPLIT OF OUR COMMON STOCK AT A REVERSE STOCK SPLIT RATIO RANGING FROM 1:2 TO 1:40, INCLUSIVE, AS DETERMINED BY OUR BOARD IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION

Reverse Stock Split

The Majority Shareholders approved an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of our Common Stock at a reverse stock split ratio ranging from 1:2 to 1:40, inclusive, as may be determined at the appropriate time by our Board in its sole discretion (the “Reverse Stock Split”). This means that our Board will be able to decide whether and when to effect the Reverse Stock Split without further action from the stockholders.

Reasons for a Reverse Stock Split

Maintaining our Listing on Nasdaq

The primary purpose of the Reverse Stock Split is to raise the per share trading price of our common stock in order to maintain our listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. Delisting from Nasdaq may adversely affect our ability to raise additional financing through the public or private sale of our equity securities, may significantly affect the ability of investors to trade in our securities and may negatively affect the value and liquidity of our Common Stock. Delisting may also have other negative impacts, including potential loss of employee confidence, the loss of institutional investors, the loss of analyst coverage or the loss of business development opportunities.

Potentially Improving the Marketability and Liquidity of our Common Stock

The Board believes that an increased stock price may also improve the marketability and liquidity of our Common Stock. For example, many brokerages, institutional investors and funds have internal policies that either prohibit them from investing in low-priced stocks or tend to discourage individual brokers from recommending low-priced stocks to their customers by restricting or limiting the ability to purchase such stocks on margin. Additionally, investors may be dissuaded from purchasing stocks below certain prices because brokers’ commissions, as a percentage of the total transaction value, can be higher for low-priced stocks.

Decreasing the Risk of Market Manipulation of our Common Stock

The Board believes that the potential increase in stock price may reduce the risk of market manipulation of our Common Stock, which we believe is enhanced when our stock trades below $1.00 per share. By reducing market manipulation risk, we may also thereby potentially decrease the volatility of our stock price.

Providing us the Ability to Issue Additional Securities

A Reverse Stock Split is expected to increase the number of authorized, but unissued and unreserved, shares of our common stock. These additional shares would provide flexibility to us for raising capital; repurchasing debt; providing equity incentives to employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisors (including pursuant to our equity compensation plan); expanding our business through the acquisition of other businesses and for other purposes. However, at present, we do not have any specific plans, arrangements, understandings or commitments for the additional shares that would become available.

Accordingly, for these and other reasons, the Board believes that a Reverse Stock Split is in the best interests of us and our stockholders. A copy of the draft of the amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation providing for the Reverse Stock Split is attached hereto as Annex A. 

Criteria to be Used for Determining Whether to Implement a Reverse Stock Split

This proposal gives our Board the discretion to select a Reverse Stock Split ratio from within a range between and including 1:2 and 1:40 on a date selected by the Board based on its then-current assessment of the factors below, and in order to maximize Company and stockholder interests. In determining whether to implement the Reverse Stock Split, and which ratio to implement, if any, the Board may consider, among other factors:

Certain Risks and Potential Disadvantages Associated with a Reverse Stock Split

We cannot assure stockholders that the proposed Reverse Stock Split will sufficiently increase our stock price or, that our stock will trade at a price that is equal to at least $1.00 per share for a period of 10 consecutive days prior to September 3, 2024, which is the date that we must regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Rule”). If we do not regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule prior to September 3, 2024, and we are not deemed eligible for an additional period of time to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule, our listed securities may be subject to delisting. The effect of a Reverse Stock Split on our stock price cannot be predicted with any certainty, and the history of reverse stock splits for other companies in various industries is varied, particularly since some investors may view a reverse stock split negatively. It is possible that our stock price after a Reverse Stock Split will not increase in the same proportion as the reduction in the number of shares outstanding, causing a reduction in our overall market capitalization. Further, even if we implement a Reverse Stock Split, our stock price may decline due to various factors, including our future performance and general industry, market and economic conditions. This percentage decline, as an absolute number and as a percentage of our overall market capitalization, may be greater than would occur in the absence of a Reverse Stock Split. If we fail to meet Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements, Nasdaq could suspend trading in our Common Stock and commence delisting proceedings.

The proposed Reverse Stock Split may decrease the liquidity of our Common Stock and result in higher transaction costs. The liquidity of our Common Stock may be negatively impacted by the reduced number of shares outstanding after the Reverse Stock Split, which would be exacerbated if the stock price does not increase following the split. In addition, a Reverse Stock Split would increase the number of stockholders owning “odd lots” of fewer than 100 shares, trading in which generally results in higher transaction costs. Accordingly, a Reverse Stock Split may not achieve the desired results of increasing marketability and liquidity as described above.

The implementation of a Reverse Stock Split would result in an effective increase in the authorized number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance, which could, under certain circumstances, have anti-takeover implications. The additional shares of Common Stock available for issuance could be used by us to oppose a hostile takeover attempt or to delay or prevent changes in control or in our management. Although the Reverse Stock Split has been prompted by business and financial considerations, and not by the threat of any hostile takeover attempt (nor is the Board currently aware of any such attempts directed at us), stockholders should be aware that approval of the Reverse Stock Split could facilitate future efforts by us to deter or prevent changes in control, including transactions in which stockholders might otherwise receive a

premium for their shares over then-current market prices.

Stockholders should also keep in mind that the implementation of a Reverse Stock Split does not have an effect on the actual or intrinsic value of our business or a stockholder’s proportional ownership interest (subject to the treatment of fractional shares). However, should the overall value of our common stock decline after a Reverse Stock Split, then the actual or intrinsic value of shares held by stockholders will also proportionately decrease as a result of the overall decline in value.

Effects of a Reverse Stock Split

As of the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split:

The following table summarizes, for illustrative purposes only, the anticipated effects of a Reverse Stock Split on our shares available for issuance based on information as of the Record Date (unless otherwise noted below) and without giving effect to the treatment of fractional shares.

Assuming the Reverse Stock Split is implemented by the Board:

A Reverse Stock Split would affect all stockholders uniformly. As of the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split which shall be determined by the Board in its sole discretion (“Effective Date”), each stockholder would own a reduced number of shares of Common Stock. Percentage ownership interests, voting rights and other rights and preferences would not be affected, except to the extent that the Reverse Stock Split would result in fractional shares (as described below).

A Reverse Stock Split would not affect the registration of our Common Stock under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and we would continue to be subject to the periodic reporting and other requirements of the Exchange Act. Barring delisting by Nasdaq, our Common Stock would continue to be listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “ELAB,” but would have a new Committee on Uniform Securities Identification Procedures number after the effective date.

Fractional Shares

No fractional shares of common stock will be issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. In lieu of any fractional shares to which a stockholder of record would otherwise be entitled, we will issue a whole share in lieu of any fractional share of Common Stock.

As of August 16, 2024, there were 59 common stockholders of record. We do not intend for this transaction to be the first step in a series of plans or proposals of a “going private transaction” within the meaning of Rule 13e-3 of the Exchange Act.

Procedure for Effecting a Reverse Stock Split

Beneficial Holders of Common Stock

Stockholders who hold their shares through a bank, broker or other nominee will be treated in the same manner as registered stockholders who hold their shares in their names. Banks, brokers and other nominees will be instructed to effect the Reverse Stock Split for beneficial owners of such shares. However, banks, brokers or other nominees may implement different procedures than those to be followed by registered stockholders for processing the Reverse Stock Split, particularly with respect to the treatment of fractional shares. Stockholders whose shares of Common Stock are held in the name of a bank, broker or other nominee are encouraged to contact their bank, broker or other nominee with any questions regarding the procedures for implementing the Reverse Stock Split with respect to their shares.

Registered Holders of Common Stock

Registered stockholders hold shares electronically in book-entry form under the direct registration system (i.e., do not have stock certificates evidencing their share ownership but instead have a statement reflecting the number of shares registered in their accounts) and, as a result, do not need to take any action to receive post-split shares. If they are entitled to receive post-split shares, they will automatically receive, at their address of record, a transaction statement indicating the number of post-split shares held following the Effective Date.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following is a summary of material U.S. federal income tax consequences of a Reverse Stock Split to stockholders. This summary is based on the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), U.S. Treasury regulations, administrative rulings and judicial decisions, all as in effect on the date of this filing, and all of which are subject to change or differing interpretations, possibly with retroactive effect. Any such change or differing interpretation could affect the tax consequences described below.

We have not sought and will not seek an opinion of counsel or ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) with respect to the statements made and the conclusions reached in the following summary, and there can be no assurance that the IRS or a court will agree with such statements and conclusions.

This summary is limited to stockholders that are U.S. holders, as defined below, and that hold our Common Stock as a capital asset (generally, property held for investment).

This summary is for general information only and does not address all U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be applicable to a holder’s particular circumstances or to holders that may be subject to special tax rules, such as, for example, brokers and dealers in securities, currencies or commodities, banks and financial institutions, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, expatriates, tax-exempt entities, governmental organizations, traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities, certain former citizens or long-term residents of the U.S., insurance companies, persons holding shares of our Common Stock as part of a hedging, integrated or conversion transaction or a straddle or persons deemed to sell shares of our Common Stock under the constructive sale provisions of the Code, persons that hold more than 5% of our Common Stock, persons that hold our Common Stock in an individual retirement account, 401(k) plan or similar tax-favored account or partnerships or other pass-through entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes and investors in such entities.

This summary does not address any U.S. federal tax consequences other than U.S. federal income tax consequences (such as estate or gift tax consequences), the Medicare tax on net investment income, the alternative minimum tax or any U.S. state, local or foreign tax consequences. This summary also does not address any U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to any other transaction other than the Reverse Stock Split.

For purposes of this summary, a “U.S. holder” means a beneficial owner of our Common Stock that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

If an entity (or arrangement) classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds shares of our Common Stock, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. If a holder of our Common Stock is a partner of a partnership holding shares of our Common Stock, such holder should consult his or her own tax advisor.

This summary of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences is for general information only and is not tax advice. Stockholders are urged to consult their own tax advisor with respect to the application of U.S. federal income tax laws to their particular situation as well as any tax considerations arising under other U.S. federal tax laws (such as the estate or gift tax laws) or under the laws of any state, local, foreign or other taxing jurisdiction or under any applicable tax treaty.

The Reverse Stock Split is intended to be treated as a recapitalization for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Assuming the Reverse Stock Split qualifies as a recapitalization, except as described below with respect to cash received in lieu of a fractional share, a U.S. holder will not recognize any gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon the Reverse Stock Split. In the aggregate, a U.S. holder’s tax basis in the Common Stock received pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split (excluding the portion of the tax basis that is allocable to any fractional share) will equal the U.S. holder’s tax basis in its Common Stock surrendered in the Reverse Stock Split in exchange therefor, and the holding period of the U.S. holder’s Common Stock received pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split will include the holding period of the Common Stock surrendered in the Reverse Stock Split in exchange therefor.

In general, a U.S. holder who receives a cash payment in lieu of a fractional share will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount of cash received in lieu of the fractional share and the portion of the U.S. holder’s tax basis of the Common Stock surrendered in the Reverse Stock Split that is allocable to the fractional share. Such gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder’s holding period in its Common Stock surrendered in the Reverse Stock Split is more than one year as of the date of the Reverse Stock Split. The deductibility of net capital losses by individuals and corporations is subject to limitations. Depending on a stockholder’s individual facts and circumstances, it is possible that cash received in lieu of a fractional share could be treated as a distribution under Section 301 of the Code, so stockholders should consult their own tax advisors as to that possibility and the resulting tax consequences to them in that event.

U.S. holders that have acquired different blocks of our Common Stock at different times or at different prices are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the allocation of their aggregated adjusted basis among, and the holding period of, our Common Stock.

Information returns generally will be required to be filed with the IRS with respect to the payment of cash in lieu of a fractional share made pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split unless such U.S. holder is an exempt recipient and timely and properly establishes with the applicable withholding agent the exemption. In addition, payments of cash in lieu of a fractional share made pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split may, under certain circumstances, be subject to backup withholding, unless a U.S. holder timely provides to the applicable withholding agent proof of an applicable exemption or a correct taxpayer identification number, and otherwise complies with the applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules are not additional tax and may be refunded or credited against the U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided that the U.S. holder timely furnishes the required information to the IRS. U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding their qualification for an exemption from backup withholding and the procedures for obtaining such an exemption.

Accounting Consequences

The par value per share of our Common Stock will remain unchanged at $0.0001 per share following a Reverse Stock Split. As a result, as of the Effective Date, the stated capital on our balance sheets attributable to Common Stock will be reduced proportionally based on the Reverse Stock Split ratio, and the additional paid-in capital will be credited with the amount by which the capital is reduced. The net income or loss per share of Common Stock will be increased as a result of the fewer shares of common stock outstanding. The Reverse Stock Split will be reflected retroactively in our consolidated financial statements.

APPROVAL OF CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AMENDMENT TO INCREASE THE TOTAL NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES TO TWO BILLION FIVE HUNDRED MILLION (2,500,000,000) SHARES, CONSISTING OF TWO BILLION (2,000,000,000) SHARES OF COMMON STOCK AND FIVE HUNDRED MILLION (500,000,000) SHARES OF PREFERRED STOCK

Authorized Share Increase

Our Board and the Majority Shareholders approved the Authorized Share Increase on August 9, 2024 and August 12, 2024, respectively.

The effective date of the Authorized Share Increase will be determined at the sole discretion of the Board and will be publicly announced by us. The Authorized Share Increase will become effective upon the filing of the Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Board may determine, in its sole discretion, not to affect the Authorized Share Increase and not to file any amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation.

Our Board believes it is in our best interest to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock in order to give us greater flexibility in considering and planning for future corporate needs, including, but not limited to, potential strategic transactions, including mergers, acquisitions and business combinations, stock dividends, grants under equity compensation plans, stock splits or financings, as well as other general corporate transactions. The Board believes that additional authorized shares of common stock will enable us to take timely advantage of acquisition opportunities that become available to us, as well as market conditions and favorable financing. We do not have any definitive plans, arrangements, understandings or agreements regarding the issuance of the additional shares of common stock that will result from the adoption of Authorized Share Increase. Except as otherwise required by law, the newly authorized shares of common stock will be available for issuance at the discretion of our Board (without further action by our stockholders unless required by Nasdaq) for various future corporate needs, including those outlined above. While effecting the Authorized Share Increase would not have any immediate dilutive effect on the proportionate voting power or other rights of existing stockholders, any future issuance of additional authorized shares of our common stock may, among other things, dilute the earnings per share of our common stock and the equity and voting rights of those holding equity at the time the additional shares are issued.

Any newly authorized shares of common stock will be identical to the shares of common stock that are now authorized and outstanding. The Authorized Share Increase will not affect the rights of current holders of our common stock, none of whom have preemptive or similar rights to acquire the newly authorized shares.

In regard to the newly authorized preferred stock, the Board is authorized to determine the qualifications, limitations, voting and other powers, preferences, and relative, participating, optional or other rights of such Preferred Stock.

A copy of the draft of the amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation providing for the Increase in Authorized Shares is attached hereto as Annex B. 

Board Discretion to Implement the Authorized Share Increase

The Board will implement the Authorized Share Increase only upon a determination that the Authorized Share Increase is in the best interests of the stockholders at that time. The Board may determine, in its sole discretion, not to affect the Authorized Share Increase.

Effective Time

The effective time of the Authorized Share Increase, if the proposed Authorized Share Increase is implemented at the direction of the Board, will be the date and time that the certificate of amendment affecting the Authorized Share Increase is filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or such later time as is specified therein. The exact timing of the Authorized Share Increase will be determined by our Board based on its evaluation as to when such action will be the most advantageous to us and our stockholders, and the effective date will be publicly announced by us. The Authorized Share Increase may be delayed or abandoned without further action by the stockholders at any time prior to the effectiveness of the Certificate of Amendment filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, notwithstanding the Majority Shareholder’s approval of the Authorized Share Increase, if the Board, in its sole discretion, determines that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to delay or abandon the Authorized Share Increase.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The table below sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of the common stock by (i) our directors and named executive officers; (ii) all the named executives and directors as a group and (iii) any other person or group that to our knowledge beneficially owns more than five percent of our outstanding shares of common stock.

We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. These rules generally provide that a person is the beneficial owner of securities if such person has or shares the power to vote or direct the voting thereof, or to dispose or direct the disposition thereof or has the right to acquire such powers within 60 days. Shares of common stock subject to options that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of August 16, 2024, are deemed to be outstanding and beneficially owned by the person holding the options. Shares issuable pursuant to stock options or warrants are deemed outstanding for computing the percentage ownership of the person holding such options or warrants but are not deemed outstanding for computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Except as indicated by the footnotes below, we believe, based on the information furnished to us, that the persons and entities named in the table below will have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock that they will beneficially own, subject to applicable community property laws. The percentage of beneficial ownership is based on 20,804,614 shares of common stock outstanding on August 16, 2024.

INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN OR OPPOSITION TO MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

No person who has been our officer or director, or to our knowledge, any of their associates, has any substantial interest, direct or indirect, by security holdings or otherwise in any matter to be acted upon. None of our directors opposed the actions to be taken by the Company.

Annex A

FORM OF CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT OF
THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION OF
ELEVAI LABS INC.

(Pursuant to Sections 242 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware)

Elevai Labs Inc., a corporation organized and existing under and by virtue of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware does hereby certify:

FIRST: That the Board of Directors of Elevai Labs Inc. duly adopted resolutions setting forth a proposed amendment of the Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of said corporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), declaring said amendments to be advisable and calling a meeting of the stockholders of said corporation for consideration thereof. The resolution setting forth the proposed amendment is as follows:

“RESOLVED, that the Certificate of Incorporation of this corporation be amended by adding paragraph 4 to Section 4.2 of Article Fourth as follows:

“4. Effective as of 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on ________ (the “Effective Time”), each [*]⁽¹⁾ shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, automatically and without any action on the part of the Corporation or the respective holders thereof, be combined and converted into one share of Common Stock without increasing or decreasing the par value of each share of Common Stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split and, in lieu thereof, upon surrender after the Effective Time of a certificate or book entry position which formerly represented shares of Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, any person who would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share of Common Stock as a result of the Reverse Stock Split, following the Effective Time, shall be entitled to receive one whole share.

ELEVAI LABS INC.

(Pursuant to Sections 242 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware)

Elevai Labs Inc., a corporation organized and existing under and by virtue of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware does hereby certify:

FIRST: That the Board of Directors of Elevai Labs Inc. duly adopted resolutions setting forth a proposed amendment of the Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of said corporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), declaring said amendments to be advisable and calling a meeting of the stockholders of said corporation for consideration thereof. The resolution setting forth the proposed amendment is as follows:

“RESOLVED, that the Certificate of Incorporation of this corporation be amended by deleting Article Fourth in its entirety and inserting the following:

“FOURTH: Capitalization.

Section 4.1 Authorized Capital Stock.

The aggregate number of shares of capital stock that the Corporation shall have authority to issue is 375,000,000 (Three Hundred Seventy-Five Million), of which 300,000,000 (Three Hundred Million) shares are classified as common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), and 75,000,000 (Seventy Five Million) shares are classified as preferred stock, par value $0.00001 per share (“Preferred Stock”).

The Corporation may issue shares of any class or series of its capital stock from time to time for such consideration and for such corporate purposes as the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board of Directors”) may from time to time determine. The number of authorized shares of any class or classes of stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation, voting together as a single class, without a separate vote of the holders of the Preferred Stock, or any series thereof. 

The following is a statement of the powers, preferences and rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions, of the Preferred Stock and the Common Stock:

Section 4.2 Common Stock. A statement of the designations of each class of Common Stock and the powers, preferences and rights and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof is as follows: 

1. Dividends. Dividends may be paid on the Common Stock, as the Board of Directors shall from time to time determine, out of any assets of the Corporation available for such dividends after full cumulative dividends on all outstanding shares of capital stock of all series ranking senior to the Common Stock in respect of dividends and liquidation rights (referred to in this Section 4 as “stock ranking senior to the Common Stock”) have been paid, or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set apart, for all past quarterly dividend periods, and after or concurrently with making payment of or provision for dividends on the stock ranking senior to the Common Stock for the then current quarterly dividend period.

2. Subdivision or Combinations. If the Corporation in any manner subdivides or combines the outstanding shares of one class of Common Stock, the outstanding shares of the other class of Common Stock will be subdivided or combined in the same manner.

3. Distribution of Assets. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, or any reduction or decrease of its capital stock resulting in a distribution of assets to the holders of the Common Stock, after there shall have been paid to or set aside for the holders of the stock ranking senior to the Common Stock the full preferential amounts to which they are respectively entitled, the holders of the Common Stock shall be entitled to receive, pro rata, all of the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders. The Board of Directors may distribute in kind to the holders of the Common Stock such remaining assets of the Corporation, or may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or any of the remaining property and assets of the Corporation to any other corporation or other purchaser and receive payment therefor wholly or partly in cash or property, and/or in stock of any such corporation, and/or in obligations of such corporation or other purchaser, and may sell all or any part of the consideration received therefor and distribute the same or the proceeds thereof to the holders of the Common Stock.

3. Voting Rights. Subject to the voting rights expressly conferred under prescribed conditions upon the stock ranking senior to the Common Stock, the holders of the Common Stock shall exclusively possess full voting power for the election of directors and for all other purposes.

Section 4.3 Preferred Stock The Board of Directors is authorized, subject to any limitations prescribed by law, to provide for the issuance of shares of Preferred Stock in one or more series, and to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each such series, and to fix for each such series the designation, power, preferences, and rights of the shares of each such series and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, as shall be stated and expressed in the resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors providing for the issue and powers, preferences and rights of such series (a “Preferred Stock Designation”) as may be permitted by applicable law. The Board of is authorized to increase or decrease the number of shares within each such series of Preferred Stock; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may not decrease the number of shares within a series of Preferred Stock below the number of shares within such series that is then outstanding.

The authority of the Board of Directors with respect to a Preferred Stock Designation of each such series of Preferred Stock shall include, but not be limited to, determination of the following:

(1) the distinctive designation and number of shares of that series;

(2) the rate of dividends (or the method of calculation thereof) payable with respect to shares of that series, the dates, terms and other conditions upon which such dividends shall be payable, and the relative rights of priority of such dividends to dividends payable on any other class or series of capital stock of the Corporation;

(3) the nature of the dividend payable with respect to shares of that series as cumulative, noncumulative or partially cumulative, and if cumulative or partially cumulative, from which date or dates and under what circumstances;

(4) whether shares of that series shall be subject to redemption, and, if made subject to redemption, the times, prices, rates, adjustments and other terms and conditions of such redemption (including the manner of selecting shares of that series for redemption if fewer than all shares of such series are to be redeemed);

(5) the rights of the holders of shares of that series in the event of voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation (which rights may be different if such action is voluntary than if it is involuntary), including the relative rights of priority in such event as to the rights of the holders of any other class or series of capital stock of the Corporation; 

(6) the terms, amounts and other conditions of any sinking or similar purchase or other fund provided for the purchase or redemption of shares of that series; 

(7) whether shares of that series shall be convertible into or exchangeable for shares of capital stock or other securities of the Corporation or of any other corporation or entity, and, if provision be made for conversion or exchange, the times, prices, rates, adjustments, and other terms and conditions of such conversion or exchange;

(8) the extent, if any, to which the holders of shares of that series shall be entitled (in addition to any voting rights required by law) to vote as a class or otherwise with respect to the election of directors or otherwise;

(9) the restrictions and conditions, if any, upon the issue or reissue of any additional Preferred Stock ranking on a parity with or prior to shares of that series as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up;

(10) any other repurchase obligations of the Corporation, subject to any limitations of applicable law; and

(11) any other designations, powers, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions of shares of that series.

Any of the Preferred Stock Designations may depend on facts ascertainable outside this Certificate of Incorporation, or outside the resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of such series of Preferred Stock adopted by the Board of Directors pursuant to authority expressly vested in it by this Certificate of Incorporation. Except as applicable law or this Certificate of Incorporation otherwise may require, holders of Common Stock shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to this Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designation filed with respect to any series of Preferred Stock) that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together as a class with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon by law or pursuant to this Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designation filed with respect to any series of Preferred Stock). 

The relative powers, preferences and rights of each series of Preferred Stock in relation to the Preferred Stock Designations of each other series of Preferred Stock shall, in each case, be as fixed from time to time by the Board of Directors in the resolution or resolutions adopted pursuant to the authority granted in this Section 4.3 of this Article FOURTH, and the consent, by class or series vote or otherwise, of holders of Preferred Stock of such series of Preferred Stock as are from time to time outstanding shall not be required for the issuance by the Board of Directors of any other series of Preferred Stock, whether or not the powers, preferences and rights of such other series shall be fixed by the Board of Directors as senior to, or on a parity with, the powers, preferences and rights of such outstanding series, or any of them; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may provide in such resolution or resolutions adopted with respect to any series of Preferred Stock that the consent of holders of at least a majority (or such greater proportion as shall be therein fixed) of the outstanding shares of such series voting thereon shall be required for the issuance of shares of any or all other series of Preferred Stock. 

Shares of any series of Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights except as required by law or as provided in the relative powers, preferences and rights of such series.

Section 4.4. Other Provisions Applicable to the Corporation’s Capital Stock. 

1. Preemptive Rights.

SECOND: That thereafter, the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action by written consent, approved of the proposed amendment on August 12, 2024 pursuant to Section 242 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

THIRD: That said amendment was duly adopted in accordance with the provisions of Section 242 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
