As

Stock”), were outstanding, each entitled to one vote per share. Of such outstanding shares of Common Stock, 9,625,251 shares were
present at the meeting in person or by proxy, representing approximately 72.52% of the Company’s securities entitled to vote.
At
the 2022 Annual Meeting, stockholders (1) reelected the Company’s eight directors; (2) ratified the appointment of Grant Thornton,
LLP, as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the 2022 fiscal year; and (3) approved, by non-binding

The
final results of each of the proposals voted on by the Company’s stockholders are described below:

There
were 3,687,808 broker non-votes for each nominee. The election of directors was determined by a plurality of the votes cast at the meeting.
Accordingly, withheld votes and broker non-votes were not treated as votes cast, and therefore had no effect on the proposal to elect
directors. Each nominee was reelected as a director of the Company, to serve until the Company’s next annual meeting of stockholders
or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified.
