In connection with the Special Meeting, the Company also solicited
proxies with respect to a proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if
there were not sufficient votes to approve either Proposal 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 at the time of the Special Meeting. Because the
Company’s stockholders approved the adoption of each of Proposal 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7, as noted above, the adjournment
proposal was not deemed necessary.
