CSNS also accepted that (i) a quorum was present at the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders held on May 11, 2017 (the “Annual Meeting”), (ii) the Annual Meeting was properly held in accordance with the Company’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws and applicable law, and (iii) all business at the Annual Meeting was lawfully conducted. Additionally, CSNS waived any and all claims against or rights to contest the Annual Meeting in any respect, including with respect to the presence of a quorum or the validity of the Annual Meeting’s election results.
