  Stockholders approved the issuance of common stock upon conversion of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, as required by Nasdaq rules. This enables the company to proceed with the conversion, which will increase the number of outstanding common shares and result in dilution.

• Routine Annual Meeting Approvals

  Shareholders also elected two Class II directors (David M. Epstein, Ph.D. and Dan Weng, M.D.), approved executive compensation on an advisory basis, and ratified the appointment of Grant Thornton Zhitong Certified Public Accountants LLP as the independent auditor.
