| ● | a
special resolution, to amend the charter pursuant to an amendment to the charter in the form set forth in Annex B of the accompanying

| ● | an

and |
| ● | an
ordinary resolution, approve the adjournment of the general meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation
and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the extension
proposal, the NTA requirement amendment proposal, and the directors proposal (the “adjournment proposal”), which will
be presented at the general meeting if, based on the tabulated votes, there are not sufficient votes at the time of the general meeting
