Amendments

to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year

On

July 29, 2026, the Company filed a Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Third A&R Certificate”)

with the Delaware Secretary of State, which amended and restated the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation

(the “Second A&R Certificate”) to eliminate the voting rights of the Class E Common Stock except to the extent required

by law. On August 26, 2026, the Company filed a Certificate of Correction with the Delaware Secretary of State, which nullified the Third

A&R Certificate in its entirety on the basis that the Third A&R Certificate was not approved in compliance with the Second A&R

Certificate. Upon the filing of the Certificate of Correction, the Third A&R Certificate was nullified, and the Second A&R Certificate,

as filed with the Delaware Secretary of State on February 10, 2023, shall be and remain the operative certificate of incorporation of

the Company.

The

foregoing description of the Certificate of Correction does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety

by reference to, the full text of the Certificate of Correction, which is attached as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K
