ARTICLE IV of the Charter is hereby amended by adding the following new Section C immediately following the existing Section B thereof:

“C. REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

Effective at 4:05 p.m., Eastern Time, on January 15, 2025 (the “2025 Split Effective Time”), every twenty three (23) shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding or held by the Corporation as treasury shares as of the 2025 Split Effective Time shall automatically, and without action on the part of the stockholders, be combined, reclassified and changed into one (1) validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of Common Stock, without effecting a change to the par value per share of Common Stock, subject to the treatment of fractional interests as described below (the “2025 Reverse Split”). Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, no fractional shares will be issued in connection with the combination effected by the preceding sentence. In lieu of issuing fractional shares, stockholders of record who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional shares will be entitled to receive an amount in cash equal to the fraction to which the stockholder would otherwise be entitled multiplied by the closing price of our common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market on the date on which the 2025 Split Effective Time occurs. As of the 2025 Split Effective Time and thereafter, a certificate(s) representing shares of Common Stock prior to the 2025 Reverse Split is deemed to represent the number of post-2025 Reverse Split shares into which the pre-2025 Reverse Split shares were reclassified and combined. The 2025 Reverse Split shall also apply to any outstanding securities or rights convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, Common Stock of the Corporation and all references to such Common Stock in agreements, arrangements, documents and plans relating thereto or any option or right to purchase or acquire shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to be references to the Common Stock or options or rights to purchase or acquire shares of Common Stock, as the case may be, after giving effect to the 2025 Reverse Split.”

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Amendment, having been duly adopted in accordance with Section 242 of the DGCL, has been duly executed by a duly authorized officer of the corporation on this 15th day of January, 2025.
