to the Articles of Amendment and Restatement of the Company with the Maryland State Department of Assessments and Taxation in
order to allow both directors and stockholders to amend the Company’s bylaws in accordance with the provisions of the bylaws.
The Articles of Amendment were duly approved by the Company’s stockholders at the annual meeting of stockholders held on

terms of the Articles of Amendment can be found in the section of the Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed by the

In addition,
effective upon the filing of the Articles of Amendment on June 3, 2020, the Company adopted amended and restated bylaws of the

by the board of directors or by the stockholders of the Company, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares
entitled to vote on the matter.
The foregoing
summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Articles of Amendment and the Second Amended and Restated Bylaws, which

More
than a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders recommended that the Company hold future advisory votes
on executive compensation on an annual basis. In light of these voting results and other factors, the board of
directors determined that the Company will hold future advisory votes on executive compensation on an annual basis until
the next required non-binding advisory vote on the frequency of such votes on executive compensation. The Company is required
to hold advisory votes on frequency every six years.
