Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

The annual general meeting of shareholders (the

“Annual Meeting”) of the Company was held on June 2, 2026. Holders of 12,866,339 shares, representing 80.61% of our outstanding

shares of common stock entitled to vote as of the record date for the Annual Meeting, participated in person or by proxy.

As explained in our proxy statement relating to

the Annual Meeting:

In accordance with the Company’s Bye-Laws, directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast. However, the Company has

adopted a policy requiring that, in the event a nominee does not receive the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares voted in connection

with his or her election, he or she must promptly tender his or her contingent resignation from the Board of Directors (the “Board”),

which the Board will accept unless it determines that it would not be in the Company’s best interests to do so.

Approval of the other matters considered at the Annual Meeting required the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of shares

present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the meeting, with abstentions having the effect of votes against a proposal

and broker nonvotes being disregarded in the calculation.

The matters voted upon at the Annual Meeting were:
