(the “Company”), held on June 29, 2022, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment (the “Charter Declassification Amendment”) to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to provide for declassification of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). Pursuant to the terms of the Charter Declassification Amendment, the directors elected at the Annual Meeting will each serve for a one-year term expiring at the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified, and the directors who were elected prior to the Annual Meeting will continue to serve the remaining portion of their three-year terms.
The Charter Declassification Amendment was previously approved by the Board, subject to approval by the Company’s stockholders, and became effective upon the Company’s filing of a Certificate of Amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State on June 29, 2022. The foregoing description of the Charter Declassification Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Charter Declassification Amendment filed with the Delaware Secretary of State, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
