Scelfo and Evans serving as non-employee directors of the Company.

The foregoing description of the Restricted Shares Grant Agreements set forth herein does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text thereof. A copy of the form of Restricted Shares Grant Agreement for the awards granted on August 31, 2023, is attached as Exhibit 99.3 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-8 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on September 1, 2021 and is incorporated by reference into this Item 5.02.

Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

On August 31, 2023, the Company held its 2023 Annual Meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). At the Annual Meeting, the stockholders (i) elected three director nominees, (ii) approved, on an advisory basis, the appointment of Marcum LLP, as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the 2023 fiscal year, and (iii) approved, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation awarded to the Company’s named executive officers for 2023.

A total of 67,021,171 shares of common stock were present in person or by proxy and represented at the Annual Meeting, which shares constituted a quorum (a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company entitled to vote) based on 87,040,267 shares entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting as of the July 3, 2023 record date for the Annual Meeting. At the Annual Meeting, the Company’s shareholders voted on the following proposals described in greater detail in the Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A which the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 13, 2023 (the “Proxy Statement”) and summarized below. This Form 8‑K should be read in connection with the Proxy Statement. There was no solicitation in opposition to management’s nominees as listed in its proxy statement and all such nominees were elected as directors. 

The results of the voting for each of the proposals were as follows:

1. Election of Directors:

2. Ratification of the appointment of Marcum LLP, as the Company’s independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023:

3. To approve, by non-binding vote, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers:

As such, each of the three (3) director nominees were duly appointed to the Board of Directors by a plurality of the votes cast (there was no solicitation in opposition to management’s nominees as listed in its proxy statement), each to serve a term of one year and until their respective successors have been elected and qualified, or until their earlier resignation or removal, and proposals 2 and 3 were separately approved and ratified by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on, and who voted for, against, or expressly abstained with respect to, each such proposal, notwithstanding the fact that proposal 3 was non-binding.
