Shareholder Director Nominations.

On February 23, 2024, the Board determined Thursday, April 18, 2024, as the scheduled date of the Company’s 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2024 Annual Meeting”). The time and meeting website information for the 2024 Annual Meeting will be set forth in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2024 Annual Meeting, which will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) prior to the 2024 Annual Meeting.

Because the date of the 2024 Annual Meeting is scheduled more than 30 days before the anniversary of the Company’s 2023 annual meeting of stockholders, the Company is providing in this Current Report on Form 8-K the due dates for submissions of qualified stockholder proposals and stockholder director nominations.

A stockholder proposal for inclusion in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2024 Annual Meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), must be received at the Company’s principal executive offices at 3124 Brother Blvd, Suite 104 Bartlett TN 38133, Attention: Corporate Secretary, no later than March 22, 2024.

A stockholder proposal or director nomination (including nominations pursuant to Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act) outside of Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act and pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) must have been received by the Company by March 22, 2024.

Stockholder proposals and stockholder director nominations must comply with all applicable requirements set forth in the rules and regulations of the SEC, the Exchange Act, and the Bylaws.
