• Bylaw Amendment Approved

  The Board of Directors approved amended and restated bylaws, effective May 13, 2026.

• Supermajority Voting Threshold

  Shareholders now require an affirmative vote of not less than 70% of all stock classes to amend bylaws concerning director tenure (Section 3.2) and future bylaw amendments (Article IX).

• Impact on Proxy Contest

  This change significantly increases the difficulty for activist shareholders, such as former CEO Toby Neugebauer, to alter the board's composition or governance structure, effectively entrenching the current board.

The Board of Directors has amended the company's bylaws to require a 70% supermajority shareholder vote to change provisions related to director tenure and future bylaw amendments. This move significantly raises the bar for shareholders to influence corporate governance, particularly impacting the ongoing proxy contest initiated by former CEO Toby Neugebauer, who is seeking to elect a new board. This action entrenches the current board and makes it substantially more difficult for activist shareholders to effect change.
