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

(a)          On July 11, 2023, and in lieu of holding a special meeting of stockholders, we began a consent solicitation of our stockholders for the purpose of seeking approval to amend our Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse split in the number of outstanding shares of our Common Stock in the range of 1-for-70 to 1-for-100, with the exact split to be determined thereafter by our Board of Directors. On August 3, 2023, we accumulated votes from holders of our Common Stock aggregating to over a majority of our outstanding shares, thus approving the proposed Certificate amendment.

(b)          The results of the consent solicitation are as follows:

Votes in favor of the amendment:			76,455,727
Votes against the amendment:			4,481,032
Votes abstaining or withheld with respect to the amendment:			64,312

We had 149,696,610 shares of Common Stock outstanding on June 12, 2023, the record date for the consent solicitation. Accordingly, the votes in favor of the amendment represent 51.07% of the outstanding shares as of the record date.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

Because we have now received the requisite votes pursuant to the consent solicitation statement, we expect to effect a 1-for-100 reverse split in our outstanding shares of Common Stock on or about August 14, 2023. Promptly thereafter, we expect to file the requisite Forms 15 to suspend our continued obligations to file reports with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
