PROPOSAL NO. 1

 

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

 

The following information supplements and updates the section titled Proposal 1: Election of Directors beginning on page 8 of the Proxy Statement.

 

Director Nominees for Election

 

As previously disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 30, 2022, Randy Thurman resigned from our Board on September 30, 2022. In the Proxy Statement, our Board had nominated seven (7) director nominees, including Mr. Thurman, for election as directors at the Annual Meeting.

 

On October 3, 2022, our Board, acting on the recommendation of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and in accordance with Section 3.1 of our Bylaws, approved:

 

That the authorized number of directors of the Board shall be six (6) directors; and

 

The withdrawal of the Board’s recommendation of Mr. Thurman as a nominee for election to the Board at the Annual Meeting.

 

As a result of resigning from the Board, Mr. Thurman will not stand for election or be voted on at the 2022 Annual Meeting. 

 

 

 

 

Stockholders may continue to use the proxy card distributed with the Proxy Statement, although stockholders should be aware that the shares represented by proxy cards for which no direction is made will be voted FOR each of the six (6) nominees other than Mr. Thurman (namely Aaron Fletcher, Ph.D., Glenn Mattes, Brandi Roberts, Robert S. Mills, Stephen C. Rocamboli and Harlan Weisman, M.D.) and proxy cards containing a specific direction to vote FOR or WITHHOLD with respect to Mr. Thurman will not be counted by the inspector of election with respect to Mr. Thurman. Stockholders who have already returned their proxy card do not need to take any action unless they want to change or revoke their proxy card. See Voting Information Update below for additional information.

 

Recommendation of the Board

 

The Board unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” the election of each of its six (6) director nominees, namely Aaron Fletcher, Ph.D., Glenn Mattes, Brandi Roberts, Robert S. Mills, Stephen C. Rocamboli and Harlan Weisman, M.D., to the Board to serve until the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualify.

Board Composition

 

Our Board may establish the authorized number of directors from time to time by resolution. As noted above, following the resignation of Mr. Thurman, our Board approved a decrease in the authorized number of directors from seven (7) authorized directors to six (6) authorized directors.  

 

Committees of the Board of Directors

 

Our Audit Committee consists of Brandi Roberts, Stephen Rocamboli Harlan Weisman, M.D., with Ms. Roberts serving as Chairperson. The composition of our Audit Committee meets the requirements for independence under current Nasdaq Stock Market listing standards and Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act.
