On December 20, 2022, the Company held a special meeting of its stockholders (the “Special Meeting”).

The certificate of amendment was filed with the Delaware Secretary of State and has an effective date of December 20, 2022.
The foregoing description of the certificate of amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the certificate of amendment, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 3.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.
