The record date for the determination of the Company’s stockholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the 2022 Annual Meeting will be close of business on October 17, 2022. All other relevant information concerning the 2022 Annual Meeting will be included in the Company’s 2022 Annual Meeting proxy statement, which will be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and become available to the Company’s stockholders at a later date.
