A copy of the Articles Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1.

At the Special Meeting held on July 18, 2024, the Company’s shareholders voted on the following two proposals, each of which is described in more detail in the joint proxy statement/prospectus filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 5, 2024 (the “joint proxy statement/prospectus”): (i) a proposal to approve the issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 10, 2024 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Humpty Merger Sub Inc., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Humpty Merger Sub LLC, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and Equitrans Midstream Corporation (the “Share Issuance Proposal”), and (ii) a proposal to approve the Articles Amendment (the “Articles Amendment Proposal”).

Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Report”) contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Statements that do not relate strictly to historical or current facts are forward-looking. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, forward-looking statements contained in this Report specifically include statements regarding the Company’s expectations relating to the Merger, including the expected completion of the Merger and the timing thereof. The forward-looking statements included in this Report involve risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the following, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected: the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement; the risk that required governmental and regulatory approvals may delay the Merger or result in the imposition of conditions that could cause the parties to abandon the Merger; the risk that the parties may not be able to satisfy the conditions to the Merger in a timely manner or at all; and risks relating to any legal proceedings relating to the Merger. Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. The Company has based these forward-looking statements on current expectations and assumptions about future events, taking into account all information currently known by it. While the Company considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and beyond the Company’s control. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and except as required by law, the Company does not intend to correct or update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
