Any such proposal must also meet the requirements set forth in the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission in order to be eligible for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials for the Annual Meeting. In addition, pursuant to the Company’s Bylaws, any stockholders seeking to raise a proposal outside the processes of Rule 14a-8 for consideration at the Annual Meeting must comply with the requirements of the Company’s Bylaws, including by delivering notice of their proposal to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Company no later than February 18, 2022.
