In connection with this amendment, the Board resolved to increase the number of authorized directors on the Board from seven (7) to a total of eight (8).
The foregoing description of the amendment to the Bylaws does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such amendment, which is included as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
