Item 3.01 Material Modification to Rights of Shareholders.
As previously disclosed by Twin Vee PowerCats Co.
(the “Company”), on December 4, 2025, at the 2025 annual meeting of stockholders, the stockholders of the Company approved
a proposal to reincorporate the Company from the State of Delaware to the State of Nevada (the “Reincorporation”) pursuant
to the terms of a plan of conversion (the “Plan of Conversion”), as described in the Company’s definitive proxy statement
on Schedule 14A for the Annual Meeting filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 23, 2025 (the
“Proxy Statement”).
Pursuant to the Plan of Conversion, the Company effected
the Reincorporation as of April 10, 2026 by filing: (i) a certificate of conversion with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware;
(ii) articles of conversion with the Nevada Secretary of State; and (iii) articles of incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State
(the “Nevada Charter”). The Company also adopted new bylaws (the “Nevada Bylaws”) to reflect the Reincorporation.
At the effective time of
the Reincorporation:
· The Company’s state of incorporation changed from the State of Delaware
to the State of Nevada.
· The affairs of the Company ceased to be governed by the Delaware General
Corporation Law and the Company’s existing certificate of incorporation and bylaws, and instead, became governed by the Nevada Revised
Statutes, the Nevada Charter and the Nevada Bylaws.
· The Company continues to be the same entity and continues with all of the
same rights, privileges and powers.
· The Company continues to have the same name, possesses all of the same properties,
continues with all of the same debts, liabilities and obligations, and continues with the same officers and directors as immediately prior
to the Reincorporation.
· Each outstanding share of common stock of the Delaware corporation shall
represent a share of the Nevada corporation and each outstanding certificate representing shares of the Delaware corporation shall be
deemed an equivalent certificate representing shares of the Nevada corporation.
· The Company’s employee benefit and incentive plans continued, and
each option, equity award or other right issued under such plans by the Delaware corporation shall automatically be converted into an
option, equity award or right to purchase or receive the same number of shares of common stock of the Nevada corporation, at the same
price per share, upon the same terms and subject to the same conditions as before the Reincorporation. All employee benefit and incentive
plans of the Delaware corporation continue to be employee benefit and incentive plans of the Nevada corporation.
The Reincorporation did not
result in any change in the business, physical location, management, assets, liabilities or net worth of the Company, nor did it result
in any change in location of the Company’s current employees, including management. The Reincorporation did not affect any of the
Company’s material contracts with any third parties, and the Company’s rights and obligations under those material contractual
arrangements will continue to be the rights and obligations of the Company after the Reincorporation. The daily business operations of
the Company will continue as they were conducted prior to the Reincorporation. The consolidated financial condition and results of operations
of the Company immediately after consummation of the Reincorporation remain the same as immediately before the Reincorporation.
As described in the Proxy
Statement, certain rights of the Company’s stockholders were changed as a result of the Reincorporation. A more detailed description
of the Plan of Conversion, Nevada Charter, and Nevada Bylaws, and the effects of the Reincorporation, are set forth in the Proxy Statement
under the heading “Proposal 3—Reincorporation to the State of Nevada by Conversion,” and the description contained
therein is incorporated herein by reference. Copies of the Plan of Conversion, the Nevada Charter and the Nevada Bylaws are attached hereto
as Exhibits 2.1, 3.1 and 3.2, respectively, and are incorporated by reference herein.

as amended (the “DGCL”), and Section 92A.195 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, as amended (the “NRS”).
RECITALS
WHEREAS, Twin Vee PowerCats
Co. is a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Converting Entity”);
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors
of the Converting Entity has determined that it would be advisable and in the best interests of the Converting Entity and its stockholders
for the Converting Entity to convert from a Delaware corporation to a Nevada corporation pursuant to Section 266 of the DGCL and Sections
92A.195 and 92A.250 of the NRS;
WHEREAS, the form, terms
and provisions of this Plan have been authorized, approved and adopted by the Board of Directors of the Converting Entity;
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors
of the Converting Entity has submitted this Plan to the stockholders of the Converting Entity for approval; and
WHEREAS, the terms and
provisions of this Plan has been authorized, approved and adopted by the holders of a majority of the voting power of the stockholders
of the Converting Entity.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Converting
Entity hereby adopts this Plan as follows:
PLAN OF CONVERSION
1. Conversion; Effect of Conversion.
(a) Upon the Effective Time (as
defined in Section 3 below), the Converting Entity shall be converted from a Delaware corporation to a Nevada corporation pursuant to
Section 266 of the DGCL and Sections 92A.195 and 92A.250 of the NRS (the “Conversion”) and the Converting Entity, as converted
to a Nevada corporation (the “Converted Entity”), shall thereafter be subject to all of the provisions of the NRS, the existence
of the Converted Entity shall be deemed to have commenced on the date the Converting Entity commenced its existence in the State of Delaware.
(b) Upon the Effective Time, by
virtue of the Conversion and without any further action on the part of the Converting Entity or its stockholders, the Converted Entity
shall, for all purposes of the laws of the State of Delaware, be deemed to be the same entity as the Converting Entity existing immediately
prior to the Effective Time. Upon the Effective Time, by virtue of the Conversion and without any further action on the part of the Converting
Entity or its stockholders, for all purposes of the laws of the State of Nevada, all of the rights, privileges and powers of the Converting
Entity existing immediately prior to the Effective Time, and all property, real, personal and mixed, and all debts due to the Converting
Entity existing immediately prior to the Effective Time, as well as all other things and causes of action belonging to the Converting
Entity existing immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall remain vested in the Converted Entity and shall be the property of the
Converted Entity and the title to any real property vested by deed or otherwise in the Converting Entity existing immediately prior to
the Effective Time shall not revert or be in any way impaired by reason of the Conversion; but all rights of creditors and all liens upon
any property of the Converting Entity existing immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be preserved unimpaired, and all debts, liabilities
and duties of the Converting Entity existing immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain attached to the Converted Entity upon
the Effective Time, and may be enforced against the Converted Entity to the same extent as if said debts, liabilities and duties had originally
been incurred or contracted by the Converted Entity in its capacity as a corporation of the State of Delaware. The rights, privileges,
powers and interests in property of the Converting Entity existing immediately prior to the Effective Time, as well as the debts, liabilities
and duties of the Converting Entity existing immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall not be deemed, as a consequence of the Conversion,
to have been transferred to the Converted Entity upon the Effective Time for any purpose of the laws of the State of Nevada.
(c) The Conversion shall not be
deemed to affect any obligations or liabilities of the Converting Entity incurred prior to the Conversion or the personal liability of
any person incurred prior to the Conversion.
(d) Upon the Effective Time, the
name of the Converted Entity shall remain unchanged and continue to be “Twin Vee PowerCats Co.”
(e) The Converting Entity intends
for the Conversion to constitute a tax-free reorganization qualifying under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
2. Filings.
As promptly as practicable following the adoption of this Plan by the Board of Directors and the stockholders of the Converting Entity,
the Converting Entity shall cause the Conversion to be effective by:
(a) executing and filing (or causing
the execution and filing of) Articles of Conversion pursuant to Section 92A.205 of the NRS, substantially in the form of Exhibit A
hereto (the “Nevada Articles of Conversion”), with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada;
(b) executing and filing (or causing
the execution and filing of) a Certificate of Conversion pursuant to Sections 103 and 266 of the DGCL, substantially in the form of Exhibit
B hereto (the “Delaware Certificate of Conversion”), with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware; and
(c) executing and filing (or causing
the execution and filing of) Articles of Incorporation of the Converted Entity, substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto (the
“Nevada Articles of Incorporation”), with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada.

issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall convert into one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share
of Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Converted Entity (“Converted Entity Common Stock”).
(b) Effect on Outstanding Stock
Options. Upon the Effective Time, by virtue of the Conversion and without any further action on the part of the Converting Entity or its
stockholders, each option to acquire shares of Converting Entity Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall
convert into an equivalent option to acquire, upon the same terms and conditions (including the vesting schedule and exercise price per
share applicable to each such option) as were in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, the same number of shares of Converted
Entity Common Stock.
(c) Effect on Outstanding Warrants
or Other Rights. Upon the Effective Time, by virtue of the Conversion and without any further action on the part of the Converting Entity
or its stockholders, each warrant or other right to acquire shares of Converting Entity Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to

be deemed for all purposes to continue to evidence ownership of and to represent the same number of shares of Converted Entity Common
Stock.

Entity Common Stock, upon the Effective Time, such plan shall be deemed to provide for the issuance of Converted Entity Common Stock.
(f) Effect of Conversion on Directors
and Officers. Upon the Effective Time, by virtue of the Conversion and without any further action on the part of the Converting Entity
or its stockholders, the members of the Board of Directors and the officers of the Converting Entity holding their respective offices

sale, assignments, agreements, documents or assurances or any other acts or things are necessary, desirable or proper, consistent with
the terms of this Plan, (a) to vest, perfect or confirm, of record or otherwise, in the Converted Entity its right, title or interest

at any time.
8. Termination.
At any time prior to the Effective Time, this Plan may be terminated, and the transactions contemplated hereby may be abandoned by action
of the Board of Directors of the Converting Entity if, in the opinion of the Board of Directors of the Converting Entity, such action
would be in the best interests of the Converting Entity and its stockholders. In the event of termination of this Plan, this Plan shall
become void and of no further force or effect

PURPOSE
The purpose of this Corporation
is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which a Corporation may be organized under the Nevada Revised Statutes or any applicable
successor act thereto, as the same may be amended from time to time (“NRS”).
ARTICLE IV
CAPITAL STOCK
A. This Corporation is authorized
to issue two classes of stock to be designated, respectively, “Common Stock” and “Preferred Stock.”
The total number of shares which the Corporation is authorized to issue is Five Hundred Ten Million (510,000,000) shares. Five Hundred
Million (500,000,000) shares shall be Common Stock, each having a par value of $0.001; and Ten Million (10,000,000) shares shall be Preferred

B. The Preferred Stock may

of any of the shares of the Preferred Stock in one or more series, and to fix the number of shares and to determine or alter for each
such series, such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such designation, preferences, and relative, participating,
optional, or other rights and such qualifications, limitations, or restrictions thereof, as shall be stated and expressed in the resolution
or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors providing for the issuance of such shares and as may be permitted by the NRS. The Board
of Directors is also expressly authorized to increase or decrease the number of shares of any series subsequent to the issuance of shares
of that series, but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding. In case the number of shares of any series shall be
decreased in accordance with the foregoing sentence, the shares constituting such decrease shall resume the status that they had prior
to the adoption of the resolution originally fixing the number of shares of such series. The number of authorized shares of Preferred
Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders
of a majority of the voting power of the stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, without a separate vote of the holders of
the Preferred Stock, or of any series thereof, unless a vote of any such holders is required pursuant to the terms of any certificate
of designation filed with respect to any series of Preferred Stock.
C. Shares of Common Stock
and Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time as the Board of Directors shall determine, and on such terms and for such consideration
as shall be fixed by the Board of Directors.
ARTICLE V
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
For the management of the business
and for the conduct of the affairs of the Corporation, and in further definition, limitation and regulation of the powers of the Corporation,
of its directors and of its stockholders or any class thereof, as the case may be, it is further provided that:
A. Board of Directors.
The management of the business and the conduct of the affairs of the Corporation shall be vested in its Board of Directors. The number
of directors which shall constitute the Board of Directors shall be fixed exclusively by resolutions adopted by a majority of the authorized
number of directors constituting the Board of Directors. In no event shall the number of directors be less than the minimum prescribed
by law. The directors of the Corporation need not be elected by written ballot unless the Bylaws so provide. Directors need not be stockholders
of the Corporation.
B. Election of Board of Directors.
Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect directors under specified circumstances, the Board of Directors
shall be and is divided into three classes, designated Class I, Class II and Class III. Each class shall consist, as nearly as may be
possible, of one third of the total number of directors constituting the entire Board of Directors. The Board of Directors is authorized
to assign members of the Board of Directors already in office to Class I, Class II or Class III at the time such classification becomes
effective.
Subject to the rights of holders
of any series of Preferred Stock to elect directors under specified circumstances, each director shall serve for a term ending on the
date of the third annual meeting of stockholders following the annual meeting of stockholders at which such director was elected; provided
that each director initially assigned to Class I shall serve for a term expiring at the Corporation’s first annual meeting of stockholders
held after the effectiveness of this Certificate of Incorporation; each director initially assigned to Class II shall serve for a term
expiring at the Corporation’s second annual meeting of stockholders held after the effectiveness of this Certificate of Incorporation;
and each director initially assigned to Class III shall serve for a term expiring at the Corporation’s third annual meeting of stockholders
held after the effectiveness of this Certificate of Incorporation; provided further, that the term of each director shall continue until
the election and qualification of his or her successor and be subject to his or her earlier death, disqualification, resignation or removal.
C.
Removal of Directors. The Board of Directors or any individual director
may be removed from office at any time (1) with cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least Sixty Percent (60%)
of the voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation, entitled to vote at an election of directors;
or (2) without cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least Sixty Percent (60%)
of the voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally at an election
of directors.
D. Vacancies.
Subject to any limitations imposed by applicable law and subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, any vacancies
on the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation, disqualification, removal or other causes and any newly created directorships
resulting from any increase in the number of directors, shall, unless the Board of Directors determines by resolution that any such vacancies
or newly created directorships shall be filled by the stockholders and except as otherwise provided by applicable law, be filled only
by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, even though less than a quorum of the Board of Directors, and not
by the stockholders. Any director elected in accordance with the preceding sentence shall hold office for the remainder of the full term
of the director for which the vacancy was created or occurred and until such director’s successor shall have been elected and qualified.
E. Bylaw Amendments.
The Board of Directors is expressly empowered to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws of the Corporation.
Any adoption, amendment or repeal of the Bylaws of the Corporation by the Board of Directors shall require the approval of a majority
of the authorized number of directors. The stockholders shall also have power to adopt,
amend or repeal the Bylaws of the Corporation; provided, however, that, in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or
series of stock of the Corporation required by law or by this Certificate of Incorporation, such action by stockholders shall require
the affirmative vote of the holders of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding
shares of the capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election or directors, voting together as a single class.
2
F. Director Election. The
directors of the Corporation need not be elected by written ballot unless the Bylaws so provide.
G. Stockholder Action. No
action shall be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation except at an annual or special meeting of stockholders called in accordance
with the Bylaws. Advance notice of stockholder nominations for the election of directors and of business to be brought by stockholders
before any meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation shall be given in the manner provided in the Bylaws of the Corporation.
H. Committees of the Board.
Pursuant to the Bylaws the Board may establish one or more committees of the Board to which may be delegated any or all of the powers
and duties of the Board to the full extent permitted by law.
ARTICLE VI
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION
A. Liability of Directors.
The liability of the directors for monetary damages shall be eliminated to the fullest extent under applicable law. If the NRS is hereafter
amended to authorize the further elimination or limitation of the liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation
shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent authorized by the NRS, as so amended.
B. Indemnification. To the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Corporation is authorized to provide indemnification of (and advancement of expenses to)
directors, officers and agents of the Corporation (and any other persons to which applicable law permits the Corporation to provide indemnification)
through Bylaw provisions, agreements with such agents or other persons, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise in
excess of the indemnification and advancement otherwise permitted by such applicable law. If applicable law is amended after approval
by the stockholders of this Article VI to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors,
then the liability of a director to the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as
so amended.
C. Repeal or Modification.
Any repeal or modification of this Article VI shall only be prospective and shall not affect the rights or protections or increase the
liability of any director under this Article VI in effect at the time of the alleged occurrence of any act or omission to act giving rise
to liability or indemnification.
ARTICLE VII
FORUM FOR ADJUDICATION OF DISPUTES
Unless the Corporation consents
in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Eighth Judicial District Court of the State of Nevada sitting in Clark County,
Nevada shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for (1) any derivative action or proceeding brought
on behalf of the Corporation; (2) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee
of the Corporation to the Corporation or the Corporation’s stockholders; (3) any action asserting a claim against the Corporation
or any director or officer or other employee of the Corporation arising pursuant to any provision of the NRS Chapters 78 or 92A, the Corporation’s
Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Corporation, any agreement entered into pursuant to NRS 78.365 or as to which the NRS
confers jurisdiction on the district court of the State of Nevada; or (4) any action asserting a claim against the Corporation or any
director or officer or other employee of the Corporation governed by the internal affairs doctrine. The choice of the Eighth Judicial
District Court of the State of Nevada sitting in Clark County, Nevada as the sole and exclusive forum for any derivative action or proceeding
brought on behalf of the Corporation shall not apply to suits to enforce a duty or liability created by the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In the event that the Eighth Judicial District Court of Clark County, Nevada
does not have jurisdiction over any such action, suit or proceeding, then any other state district court located in the State of Nevada
shall be the sole and exclusive forum therefor and in the event that no state district court in the State of Nevada has jurisdiction over
any such action, suit or proceeding, then a federal district court of the United States located within the State of Nevada shall be the
sole and exclusive forum therefor. Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district

any offering of the Corporation’s securities, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any auditor, underwriter, expert, control person,
or other defendant, which person shall have the right to enforce this clause.

of any series of Preferred Stock.
1.2. OTHER OFFICES
The corporation’s board of
directors may at any time establish other offices at any place or places where the corporation is qualified to do business.
ARTICLE II — MEETINGS OF
STOCKHOLDERS
2.1. PLACE OF MEETINGS
Meetings of stockholders shall be
held at any place, within or outside the State of Nevada, designated by the board of directors. The board of directors may, in its sole
discretion, determine that a meeting of stockholders shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote
communication as authorized by Sections 78.320(4)-(6) of the Nevada Revised Statutes (Nevada Corporations Act) of the State of Nevada
(the “NRS”). In the absence of any such designation or determination, stockholders’ meetings shall be held at the corporation’s
principal executive office.
2.2. ANNUAL MEETING
The annual meeting of stockholders
shall be held on such date, at such time, and at such place (if any) within or without the State of Nevada as shall be designated from
time to time by the board of directors and stated in the corporation’s notice of the meeting. At the annual meeting, directors shall
be elected and any other proper business may be transacted. Failure to hold the annual meeting at the designated time shall not affect
the validity of any corporate action taken by the corporation.
2.3. SPECIAL MEETING
(i) A
special meeting of the stockholders, other than those required by statute, may be called at any time only by (A) the direction of a majority
of the board of directors, (B) the chairperson of the board of directors, (C) the chief executive officer or (D) the president (in the
absence of a chief executive officer). A special meeting of the stockholders may not be called by any other person or persons. The board
of directors may cancel, postpone or reschedule any previously scheduled special meeting at any time, before or after the notice for such
meeting has been sent to the stockholders.
(ii) The
notice of a special meeting shall include the purpose for which the meeting is called. Only such business shall be conducted at a special
meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the board of directors, the chairperson
of the board of directors, the chief executive officer or the president (in the absence of a chief executive officer). Nothing contained
in this Section 2.3(ii) shall be construed as limiting, fixing or affecting the time when a meeting of stockholders called by action of
the board of directors may be held.
1
2.4. ADVANCE NOTICE PROCEDURES
(i) Advance
Notice of Stockholder Business. At an annual meeting of the stockholders, only such business shall be conducted as shall have
been properly brought before the meeting. To be properly brought before an annual meeting, business must be brought: (A) pursuant to
the corporation’s proxy materials with respect to such meeting, (B) by or at the direction of a majority of the board of
directors, or (C) by a stockholder of the corporation who (1) is a stockholder of record at the time of the giving of the
notice required by this Section 2.4(i) and on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the annual
meeting and (2) has timely complied in proper written form with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2.4(i). In addition,
for business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, such business must be a proper matter for stockholder
action pursuant to these bylaws and applicable law. Except for proposals properly made in accordance with Rule 14a-8 under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”) and the rules and regulations thereunder (as so
amended and inclusive of such rules and regulations), and included in the notice of meeting given by or at the direction of the
board of directors, for the avoidance of doubt, clause (C) above shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to bring business
before an annual meeting of stockholders.
(a) To
comply with clause (C) of Section 2.4(i) above, a stockholder’s notice must set forth all information required under this Section
2.4(i) and must be timely received by the secretary of the corporation. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be received by
the secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation not later than the 45th day nor earlier than the 75th
day before the one- year anniversary of the date on which the corporation first mailed its proxy materials or a notice of availability
of proxy materials (whichever is earlier) for the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the
event that no annual meeting was held in the previous year or if the date of the annual meeting is advanced by more than 30 days prior
to or delayed by more than 60 days after the one-year anniversary of the date of the previous year’s annual meeting, then, for notice
by the stockholder to be timely, it must be so received by the secretary not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior
to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of (i) the 90th day prior to such annual meeting, or (ii)
the tenth day following the day on which Public Announcement (as defined below) of the date of such annual meeting is first made. In no
event shall any adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting or the announcement thereof commence a new time period for the giving
of a stockholder’s notice as described in this Section 2.4(i)(a). “Public Announcement” shall mean disclosure
in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or a comparable national news service or in a document publicly
filed by the corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act.
(b) To
be in proper written form, a stockholder’s notice to the secretary must set forth as to each matter of business the
stockholder intends to bring before the annual meeting: (1) a brief description of the business intended to be brought before the
annual meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting, (2) the name and address, as they appear on the
corporation’s books, of the stockholder proposing such business and any Stockholder Associated Person (as defined below), (3)
the class and number of shares of the corporation that are held of record or are beneficially owned by the stockholder or any
Stockholder Associated Person and any derivative positions held or beneficially held by the stockholder or any Stockholder
Associated Person, (4) whether and the extent to which any hedging or other transaction or series of transactions has been entered
into by or on behalf of such stockholder or any Stockholder Associated Person with respect to any securities of the corporation, and
a description of any other agreement, arrangement or understanding (including any short position or any borrowing or lending of
shares), the effect or intent of which is to mitigate loss to, or to manage the risk or benefit from share price changes for, or to
increase or decrease the voting power of, such stockholder or any Stockholder Associated Person with respect to any securities of
the corporation, (5) any material interest of the stockholder or a Stockholder Associated Person in such business,
2
and (6) a statement whether either
such stockholder or any Stockholder Associated Person will deliver a proxy statement and form of proxy to holders of at least the
percentage of the corporation’s voting shares required under applicable law to carry the proposal (such information provided
and statements made as required by clauses (1) through (6), a “Business Solicitation Statement”). In addition, to
be in proper written form, a stockholder’s notice to the secretary must be supplemented not later than ten days following the
record date for notice of the meeting to disclose the information contained in clauses (3) and (4) above as of the record date for
notice of the meeting. For purposes of this Section 2.4, a “Stockholder Associated Person” of any stockholder
shall mean (i) any person controlling, directly or indirectly, or acting in concert with, such stockholder, (ii) any beneficial
owner of shares of stock of the corporation owned of record or beneficially by such stockholder and on whose behalf the proposal or
nomination, as the case may be, is being made, or (iii) any person controlling, controlled by or under common control with such
person referred to in the preceding clauses (i) and (ii).
(c) Without
exception, no business shall be conducted at any annual meeting except in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Section 2.4(i)
and, if applicable, Section 2.4(ii). In addition, business proposed to be brought by a stockholder may not be brought before the annual
meeting if such stockholder or a Stockholder Associated Person, as applicable, takes action contrary to the representations made in the
Business Solicitation Statement applicable to such business or if the Business Solicitation Statement applicable to such business contains
an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. The
chairperson of the annual meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare at the annual meeting that business was not properly
brought before the annual meeting and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.4(i), and, if the chairperson should so determine,
he or she shall so declare at the annual meeting that any such business not properly brought before the annual meeting shall not be conducted.
(ii) Advance
Notice of Director Nominations at Annual Meetings. Notwithstanding anything in these bylaws to the contrary, only persons who are
nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.4(ii) shall be eligible for election or re-election as directors
at an annual meeting of stockholders. Nominations of persons for election or re-election to the board of directors of the corporation
shall be made at an annual meeting of stockholders only (A) by or at the direction of the board of directors or (B) by a stockholder of
the corporation who (1) was a stockholder of record at the time of the giving of the notice required by this Section 2.4(ii) and on the
record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the annual meeting and (2) has complied with the notice procedures
set forth in this Section 2.4(ii). In addition to any other applicable requirements, for a nomination to be made by a stockholder, the
stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in proper written form to the secretary of the corporation.
(a) To
comply with clause (B) of Section 2.4(ii) above, a nomination to be made by a stockholder must set forth all information required under
this Section 2.4(ii) and must be received by the secretary of the corporation at the principal executive offices of the corporation at
the time set forth in, and in accordance with, the final three sentences of Section 2.4(i)(a) above.
(b)
To be in proper written form, such stockholder’s notice to the secretary must set forth:
(1) as
to each person (a “nominee”) whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or re-election as a director: (A)
the name, age, business address and residence address of the nominee, (B) the principal occupation or employment of the nominee, (C) the
class and number of shares of the corporation that are held of record or are beneficially owned by the nominee and any derivative positions
held or beneficially held by the nominee, (D) whether and the extent to which any hedging or other transaction or series of transactions
has been entered into by or on behalf of the nominee with respect to any securities of the corporation, and a description of any other
agreement, arrangement or understanding (including any short position or any borrowing or lending of shares), the effect or intent of
which is to mitigate loss to,
3
or to manage the risk or benefit of share price changes for, or to increase or decrease the voting power
of the nominee, (E) a description of all arrangements or understandings between the stockholder and each nominee and any other person
or persons (naming such person or persons) pursuant to which the nominations are to be made by the stockholder, (F) a written statement
executed by the nominee acknowledging that as a director of the corporation, the nominee will owe a fiduciary duty under Delaware law
with respect to the corporation and its stockholders, and (G) any other information relating to the nominee that would be required to
be disclosed about such nominee if proxies were being solicited for the election or re-election of the nominee as a director, or that
is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the 1934 Act (including without limitation the nominee’s written
consent to being named in the proxy statement, if any, as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected or re- elected, as the case
may be); and
(2) as
to such stockholder giving notice, (A) the information required to be provided pursuant to clauses (2) through (5) of Section 2.4(i)(b)
above, and the supplement referenced in the second sentence of Section 2.4(i)(b) above (except that the references to “business”
in such clauses shall instead refer to nominations of directors for purposes of this paragraph), and (B) a statement whether either such
stockholder or Stockholder Associated Person will deliver a proxy statement and form of proxy to holders of a number of the corporation’s
voting shares reasonably believed by such stockholder or Stockholder Associated Person to be necessary to elect or re-elect such nominee(s)
(such information provided and statements made as required by clauses (A) and (B) above, a “Nominee Solicitation Statement”).
(c) At
the request of the board of directors, any person nominated by a stockholder for election or re-election as a director must furnish to
the secretary of the corporation (1) that information required to be set forth in the stockholder’s notice of nomination of such
person as a director as of a date subsequent to the date on which the notice of such person’s nomination was given and (2) such
other information as may reasonably be required by the corporation to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as an
independent director or audit committee financial expert of the corporation under applicable law, securities exchange rule or regulation,
or any publicly-disclosed corporate governance guideline or committee charter of the corporation and (3) that could be material to a reasonable
stockholder’s understanding of the independence, or lack thereof, of such nominee; in the absence of the furnishing of such information
if requested, such stockholder’s nomination shall not be considered in proper form pursuant to this Section 2.4(ii).
(d) Without
exception, no person shall be eligible for election or re-election as a director of the corporation at an annual meeting of stockholders
unless nominated in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Section 2.4(ii). In addition, a nominee shall not be eligible for
election or re- election if a stockholder or Stockholder Associated Person, as applicable, takes action contrary to the representations
made in the Nominee Solicitation Statement applicable to such nominee or if the Nominee Solicitation Statement applicable to such nominee
contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.
The chairperson of the annual meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare at the annual meeting that a nomination was not
made in accordance with the provisions prescribed by these bylaws, and if the chairperson should so determine, he or she shall so declare
at the annual meeting, and the defective nomination shall be disregarded.
(iii) Advance Notice of Director Nominations for Special Meetings.
(a) For
a special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected or re- elected, nominations of persons for election or re-election
to the board of directors shall be made only (1) by or at the direction of the board of directors or (2) by any stockholder of the corporation
who (A) is a stockholder of record at the time of the giving of the notice required by this Section 2.4(iii) and on the record date for
the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the special meeting and (B) delivers a timely written notice of the nomination to
the secretary of the corporation that includes the information set forth in Sections 2.4(ii)(b) and (ii)(c) above. To be timely,
4
such
notice must be received by the secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation not later than the close of business on
the later of the 90th day prior to such special meeting or the tenth day following the day on which Public Announcement is first made
of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the board of directors to be elected or re-elected at such meeting.
A person shall not be eligible for election or re-election as a director at a special meeting unless the person is nominated (i) by or
at the direction of the board of directors or (ii) by a stockholder in accordance with the notice procedures set forth in this Section
2.4(iii). In addition, a nominee shall not be eligible for election or re-election if a stockholder or Stockholder Associated Person,
as applicable, takes action contrary to the representations made in the Nominee Solicitation Statement applicable to such nominee or if
the Nominee Solicitation Statement applicable to such nominee contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material
fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.
(b) The
chairperson of the special meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare at the meeting that a nomination or business was
not made in accordance with the procedures prescribed by these bylaws, and if the chairperson should so determine, he or she shall so
declare at the meeting, and the defective nomination or business shall be disregarded.
(iv) Other
Requirements and Rights. In addition to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.4, a stockholder must also comply with all applicable
requirements of state law and of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Section
2.4. Nothing in this Section 2.4 shall be deemed to affect any rights of:
(a) (a)
a stockholder to request inclusion of proposals in the corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 (or any successor provision)
under the 1934 Act; or
(b) the
corporation to omit a proposal from the corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 (or any successor provision) under
the 1934 Act.
2.5. NOTICE OF STOCKHOLDERS’ MEETINGS
Whenever stockholders are required
or permitted to take any action at a meeting, a written notice of the meeting shall be given which shall state the place, if any, date
and hour of the meeting, the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present
in person and vote at such meeting, the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, if such date is
different from the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting,
the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. Except as otherwise provided in the NRS, the articles of incorporation or these
bylaws, the written notice of any meeting of stockholders shall be given not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of the
meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting as of the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice
of the meeting. Notice need not be given to any stockholder who submits a written waiver of notice signed by him or her before or after
the time stated therein. Attendance of a stockholder at a meeting of stockholders shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting,
except when the stockholder attends the meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction
of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of,
any regular or special meeting of the stockholders need be specified in any written waiver of notice.
5
2.6. QUORUM
The holders of not less than thirty-three
and one-third (33 1/3) percent of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, present in person , by
means of remote communication, or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at all meetings of the
stockholders, except as otherwise provided in the NRS, the articles of incorporation or these bylaws. Where a separate vote by a class
or series or classes or series is required, the holders of not less than thirty-three and one-third (33 1/3) percent
of the outstanding shares of such class or series or classes or series, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a
quorum entitled to take action with respect to that vote on that matter, except as otherwise provided by law, the articles of incorporation
or these bylaws.
If a quorum is not present or represented
at any meeting of the stockholders, then either (i) the chairperson of the meeting, or (ii) the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting,
present in person or represented by proxy, shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement
at the meeting, until a quorum is present or represented. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present or represented, any business
may be transacted that might have been transacted at the meeting as originally noticed.
2.7. ADJOURNED MEETING; NOTICE
When a meeting is adjourned to another
time or place, unless these bylaws otherwise require, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time, place, if any, thereof,
and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote
at such adjourned meeting are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting, the corporation may
transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than 60 days, a notice
of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting and a new record date shall be fixed.
If after the adjournment a new record date for stockholders entitled to vote is fixed for the adjourned meeting, the board of directors
shall fix a new record date for notice of such adjourned meeting in accordance with Section 78.350(2) of the NRS and Section 2.11 of these
bylaws, and shall give notice of the adjourned meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such adjourned meeting as of
the record date fixed for notice of such adjourned meeting.
2.8. CONDUCT OF BUSINESS
The chairperson of any meeting of
stockholders shall determine the order of business and the procedure at the meeting, including such regulation of the manner of voting
and the conduct of business. The chairperson of any meeting of stockholders shall be designated by the board of directors; in the absence
of such designation, the chairperson of the board, if any, the chief executive officer (in the absence of the chairperson) or the president
(in the absence of the chairperson of the board and the chief executive officer), or in their absence any other executive officer of the
corporation, shall serve as chairperson of the stockholder meeting.
2.9. VOTING
The stockholders entitled to vote
at any meeting of stockholders shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.11 of these bylaws, subject to Section
78.350 (relating to voting rights of stockholders), Section 78.365 (relating to voting trusts and other voting agreements) and other applicable
provisions of the NRS.
Except as may be otherwise provided
in the NRS, articles of incorporation or these bylaws, each stockholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share of capital stock
held by such stockholder.
6
As authorized by the articles of
incorporation, at each election of directors of the corporation, every stockholder entitled to vote shall have the right to multiply the
number of votes to which such stockholder may be entitled by the total number of directors to be elected in the same election by the holders
of the class or classes of stock of which such stockholder’s shares are a part, and such stockholder may cast the whole number of
such votes for one candidate or distribute them among any number of candidates. To exercise the right of cumulative voting, one or more
stockholders must give the president or secretary of the corporation written notice of their intention to cumulate votes at least forty-eight
(48) hours before the meeting (twenty-four (24) hours if notice of the meeting was delivered less than ten (10) days before the meeting).
Except as otherwise required by
law, the articles of incorporation or these bylaws, in all matters other than the election of directors, the affirmative vote of a majority
of the voting power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter
shall be the act of the stockholders. Except as otherwise required by law, the articles of incorporation or these bylaws, directors shall
be elected by a plurality of the voting power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote
on the election of directors. Where a separate vote by a class or series or classes or series is required, in all matters other than the
election of directors, the affirmative vote of the majority of shares of such class or series or classes or series present in person or
represented by proxy at the meeting shall be the act of such class or series or classes or series, except as otherwise provided by law,
the articles of incorporation or these bylaws.
2.10. STOCKHOLDER ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT WITHOUT A MEETING
Subject to the rights of the holders
of the shares of any series of Preferred Stock or any other class of stock or series thereof that have been expressly granted the right
to take action by written consent, any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the corporation must be effected
at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders of the corporation and may not be effected by any consent in writing by such
stockholders.
2.11. RECORD DATES
In order that the corporation may
determine the stockholders entitled to notice of any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the board of directors may fix
a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the board of
directors and which record date shall not be more than 60 nor less than 10 days before the date of such meeting. If the board of directors
so fixes a date, such date shall also be the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting unless the
board of directors determines, at the time it fixes such record date, that a later date on or before the date of the meeting shall be
the date for making such determination.
If no record date is fixed by the
board of directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall
be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business
on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held.
A determination of stockholders
of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however,
that the board of directors may fix a new record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting, and
in such case shall also fix as the record date for stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date
as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote in accordance with the provisions of Section 78.350(2) of the NRS and
this Section 2.11 at the adjourned meeting.
7
In order that the corporation may
determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights or the stockholders
entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other lawful action,
the board of directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record
date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than 60 days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date
for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the board of directors adopts
the resolution relating thereto.
2.12. PROXIES
Each stockholder entitled to vote
at a meeting of stockholders may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy authorized by an instrument
in writing or by a transmission permitted by law filed in accordance with the procedure established for the meeting, but no such proxy
shall be voted or acted upon after six (6) months from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period, in which case the duration
may not exceed seven (7) years from its date. The revocability of a proxy that states on its face that it is irrevocable shall be governed
by the provisions of Section 78.355(4) of the NRS.
2.13. LIST OF STOCKHOLDERS ENTITLED TO VOTE
The officer who has charge of the
stock ledger of the corporation shall prepare and make, at least 10 days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the
stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting; provided, however, if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote
is less than 10 days before the meeting date, the list shall reflect the stockholders entitled to vote as of the tenth day before the
meeting date. The stockholder list shall be arranged in alphabetical order and show the address of each stockholder and the number of
shares registered in the name of each stockholder. The corporation shall not be required to include electronic mail addresses or other
electronic contact information on such list. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder for any purpose germane to
the meeting for a period of at least 10 days prior to the meeting (i) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the
information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or (ii) during ordinary business hours, at
the corporation’s principal place of business. In the event that the corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic
network, the corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the corporation.
If the meeting is to be held at a place, then the list shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole
time thereof, and may be examined by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication,
then the list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible
electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting. Such list shall
presumptively determine the identity of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting and the number of shares held by each of them.
2.14. INSPECTORS OF ELECTION
Before any meeting of
stockholders, the board of directors shall appoint an inspector or inspectors of election to act at the meeting or its adjournment.
The number of inspectors shall be either one (1) or three (3). If any person appointed as inspector fails to appear or fails or
refuses to act, then the chairperson of the meeting may, and upon the request of any stockholder or a stockholder’s proxy
shall, appoint a person to fill that vacancy.
8
Each inspector, before entering
upon the discharge of his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath to execute faithfully the duties of inspector with strict impartiality
and according to the best of his or her ability. The inspector or inspectors so appointed and designated shall (i) ascertain the number
of shares of capital stock of the corporation outstanding and the voting power of each share, (ii) determine the shares of capital stock
of the corporation represented at the meeting and the validity of proxies and ballots, (iii) count all votes and ballots, (iv) determine
and retain for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspectors, and (v)
certify their determination of the number of shares of capital stock of the corporation represented at the meeting and such inspector
or inspectors’ count of all votes and ballots.
In determining the validity and counting
of proxies and ballots cast at any meeting of stockholders of the corporation, the inspector or inspectors may consider such information
as is permitted by applicable law. If there are three (3) inspectors of election, the decision, act or certificate of a majority is effective
in all respects as the decision, act or certificate of all.
ARTICLE III — DIRECTORS
3.1. POWERS
The business and affairs of the corporation
shall be managed by or under the direction of the board of directors, except as may be otherwise provided in the NRS or the articles of
incorporation. The board of directors may exercise all powers of the corporation and do all lawful acts and things that are not by law,
the articles of incorporation or these bylaws required to be exercised or done by the stockholders.
3.2. NUMBER OF DIRECTORS
The board of directors shall consist
of one or more members, each of whom shall be a natural person. Unless the articles of incorporation fixes the number of directors, the

number of directors shall have the effect of removing any director before that director’s term of office expires.
3.3. ELECTION, QUALIFICATION AND TERM OF OFFICE OF DIRECTORS
Except as provided in Section 3.4
of these bylaws, each director, including a director elected to fill a vacancy, shall hold office until the expiration of the term for

or these bylaws may prescribe other qualifications for directors.
3.4. RESIGNATION AND VACANCIES
Any director may resign at any time
upon notice given in writing or by electronic transmission to the corporation; provided, however, that if such notice is given by electronic
transmission, such electronic transmission must either set forth or be submitted with information from which it can be determined that
the electronic transmission was authorized by the director. A resignation is effective when the resignation is delivered unless the resignation
specifies a later effective date or an effective date determined upon the happening of an event or events. Acceptance of such resignation
shall not be necessary to make it effective. A resignation which is conditioned upon the director failing to receive a specified vote
for reelection as a director may provide that it is irrevocable. Unless otherwise provided in the articles of incorporation or these bylaws,
when one or more directors resign from the board of directors, effective at a future date, a majority of the directors then in office,
including those who have so resigned, shall have power to fill such vacancy or vacancies, the vote thereon to take effect when such resignation
or resignations shall become effective.

directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors elected by all of the stockholders having the right to
vote as a single class shall be filled only by a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining
director. If the directors are divided into classes, a person so elected by the directors then in office to fill a vacancy or newly created
directorship shall hold office until the next election of the class for which such director shall have been chosen and until his or her
successor shall have been duly elected and qualified. PLACE OF MEETINGS; MEETINGS BY TELEPHONE

Notice of the time and place of special

executive office) nor the purpose of the meeting.
10
3.8. QUORUM; VOTING
At all meetings of the board of
directors, a majority of the total authorized number of directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. If a quorum
is not present at any meeting of the board of directors, then the directors present thereat may adjourn the meeting from time to time,
without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present. A meeting at which a quorum is initially present may
continue to transact business notwithstanding the withdrawal of directors, if any action taken is approved by at least a majority of the
required quorum for that meeting.
The vote of a majority of the directors
present at any meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the board of directors, except as may be otherwise specifically
provided by statute, the articles of incorporation or these bylaws.
If the articles of incorporation
provides that one or more directors shall have more or less than one vote per director on any matter, every reference in these bylaws
to a majority or other proportion of the directors shall refer to a majority or other proportion of the votes of the directors.
3.9. BOARD ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT WITHOUT A MEETING
Unless otherwise restricted by the
articles of incorporation or these bylaws, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the board of directors, or of
any committee thereof, may be taken without a meeting if all members of the board of directors or committee, as the case may be, consent
thereto in writing or by electronic transmission and the writing or writings or electronic transmission or transmissions are filed with
the minutes of proceedings of the board of directors or committee. Such filing shall be in paper form if the minutes are maintained in
paper form and shall be in electronic form if the minutes are maintained in electronic form.

articles of incorporation or these bylaws, the board of directors shall have the authority to fix the compensation of directors.
3.11. REMOVAL OF DIRECTORS

The board of directors may designate
one or more committees, each committee to consist of one or more of the directors of the corporation. The board of directors may designate
one or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee.
Unless otherwise provided by the articles of incorporation, natural persons who are not directors may serve on a committee. In the absence
or disqualification of a member of a committee, the member or members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting,
whether or not such member or members constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the board of directors to act at
the meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member. Any such committee, to the extent provided in the resolution of the

4.4. SUBCOMMITTEES
Unless otherwise provided in the
articles of incorporation, these bylaws or the resolutions of the board of directors designating the committee, a committee may create
one or more subcommittees, each subcommittee to consist of one or more members of the committee, and delegate to a subcommittee any or
all of the powers and authority of the committee.

by the board of directors as provided in Section 78.1955 of the NRS, fix the designations, powers and any of the preferences, rights,

ARTICLE VI — STOCK
6.1. STOCK CERTIFICATES; PARTLY PAID SHARES
The shares of the corporation shall
be represented by certificates, provided that the board of directors may provide by resolution or resolutions that some or all of any
or all classes or series of its stock shall be uncertificated shares. Any such resolution shall not apply to shares represented by a certificate
until such certificate is surrendered to the corporation. Every holder of stock represented by certificates shall be entitled to have
a certificate signed by, or in the name of the corporation by the chairperson of the board of directors or vice-chairperson of the board
of directors, or the president or a vice-president, and by the treasurer or an assistant treasurer, or the secretary or an assistant secretary
of the corporation representing the number of shares registered in certificate form. Any or all of the signatures on the certificate may
be a facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate
has ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the corporation with
the same effect as if such person were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue. The corporation shall not have
power to issue a certificate in bearer form.
The corporation may issue the whole
or any part of its shares as partly paid and subject to call for the remainder of the consideration to be paid therefor. Upon the face
or back of each stock certificate issued to represent any such partly-paid shares, or upon the books and records of the corporation in
the case of uncertificated partly-paid shares, the total amount of the consideration to be paid therefor and the amount paid thereon shall
be stated. Upon the declaration of any dividend on fully-paid shares, the corporation shall declare a dividend upon partly-paid shares
of the same class, but only upon the basis of the percentage of the consideration actually paid thereon.
15
6.2. SPECIAL DESIGNATION ON CERTIFICATES
If the corporation is authorized to
issue more than one class of stock or more than one series of any class, then the powers, the designations, the preferences, and the relative,
participating, optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions
of such preferences and/or rights shall be set forth in full or summarized on the face or back of the certificate that the corporation
shall issue to represent such class or series of stock. In lieu of the foregoing requirements that may be set forth on the face or back
of the certificate that the corporation shall issue to represent such class or series of stock, a statement that the corporation will
furnish without charge to each stockholder who so requests a statement of the powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating,
optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such
preferences and/or rights. Within a reasonable time after the issuance or transfer of uncertificated stock, the corporation shall send
to the registered owner thereof a written notice containing the information required to be set forth or stated on certificates pursuant
to this section 6.2 or Sections 78.235(5) or 104.8202 of the NRS or, in lieu thereof, a statement that the corporation will furnish without
charge to each stockholder who so requests the powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special
rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights.
Except as otherwise expressly provided by law, the rights and obligations of the holders of uncertificated stock and the rights and obligations
of the holders of certificates representing stock of the same class and series shall be identical.
6.3. LOST, STOLEN OR DESTROYED CERTIFICATES
Except as provided in this Section 6.3,
no new certificates for shares shall be issued to replace a previously issued certificate unless the latter is surrendered to the corporation
and cancelled at the same time. The corporation may issue a new certificate of stock or uncertificated shares in the place of any certificate
theretofore issued by it, alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, and the corporation may require the owner of the lost, stolen
or destroyed certificate, or such owner’s legal representative, to give the corporation a bond sufficient to indemnify it against
any claim that may be made against it on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of
such new certificate or uncertificated shares.
6.4. DIVIDENDS
The board of directors, subject
to any restrictions contained in the articles of incorporation or applicable law, may declare and pay dividends upon the shares of the
corporation’s capital stock. Dividends may be paid in cash, in property, or in shares of the corporation’s capital stock,
subject to the provisions of the articles of incorporation.
The board of directors may set apart
out of any of the funds of the corporation available for dividends a reserve or reserves for any proper purpose and may abolish any such
reserve. Such purposes shall include but not be limited to equalizing dividends, repairing or maintaining any property of the corporation,
and meeting contingencies.
6.5. TRANSFER OF STOCK
Transfers of record of shares of
stock of the corporation shall be made only upon its books by the holders thereof, in person or by an attorney or legal representative
duly authorized, and, if such stock is certificated, upon the surrender of a certificate or certificates for a like number of shares,
properly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignation or authority to transfer; provided, however, that such
succession, assignment or authority to transfer is not prohibited by the articles of incorporation, these bylaws, applicable law or contract.
16
6.6. STOCK TRANSFER AGREEMENTS
The corporation shall have power to enter into
and perform any agreement with any number of stockholders of any one or more classes of stock of the corporation to restrict the transfer
of shares of stock of the corporation of any one or more classes owned by such stockholders in any manner not prohibited by the NRS.
6.7. REGISTERED STOCKHOLDERS
The corporation:
(i) shall
be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person registered on its books as the owner of shares to receive dividends and to vote
as such owner;
(ii) shall
be entitled to hold liable for calls and assessments the person registered on its books as the owner of shares; and
(iii) shall
not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of another person, whether
or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of Delaware.
6.8. FRACTIONAL SHARE INTERESTS
The corporation may, but shall not be
required to, issue fractions of a share. If the corporation does not issue fractions of a share, it shall (i) arrange for the disposition
of fractional interests by those entitled thereto, (ii) pay in cash the fair value of fractions of a share as of the time when those entitled
to receive such fractions are determined, or (iii) issue scrip or warrants in registered or bearer form that shall entitle the holder
to receive a certificate for a full share upon the surrender of such scrip or warrants aggregating a full share. A certificate for a fractional
share shall, but scrip or warrants shall not unless otherwise provided therein, entitle the holder to exercise voting rights, to receive
dividends thereon, and to participate in any of the assets of the corporation in the event of liquidation. The board of directors may
cause scrip or warrants to be issued subject to the conditions that they shall become void if not exchanged for certificates representing
full shares before a specified date, or subject to the conditions that the shares for which scrip or warrants are exchangeable may be
sold by the corporation and the proceeds thereof distributed to the holders of scrip or warrants, or subject to any other conditions that
the board of directors may impose.
ARTICLE VII — MANNER OF
GIVING NOTICE AND WAIVER
7.1. NOTICE OF STOCKHOLDERS’ MEETINGS
Notice of any meeting of stockholders,
if mailed, is given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at such stockholder’s
address as it appears on the corporation’s records. An affidavit of the secretary or an assistant secretary of the corporation or
of the transfer agent or other agent of the corporation that the notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie
evidence of the facts stated therein.
17
7.2. NOTICE BY ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION
Without limiting the manner by which
notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders pursuant to the NRS, the articles of incorporation or these bylaws, any notice
to stockholders given by the corporation under any provision of the NRS, the articles of incorporation or these bylaws shall be effective
if given by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder to whom the notice is given. Any such consent shall be revocable
by the stockholder by written notice to the corporation. Any such consent shall be deemed revoked if:
(i) the
corporation is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two consecutive notices given by the corporation in accordance with such consent;
and
(ii) such
inability becomes known to the secretary or an assistant secretary of the corporation or to the transfer agent, or other person responsible
for the giving of notice.
However, the inadvertent failure
to treat such inability as a revocation shall not invalidate any meeting or other action.
Any notice given pursuant to the preceding
paragraph shall be deemed given:
(i) if
by facsimile telecommunication, when directed to a number at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice;
(ii) if
by electronic mail, when directed to an electronic mail address at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice;
(iii) if
by a posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the stockholder of such specific posting, upon the later of (A)
such posting and (B) the giving of such separate notice; and
(iv)
if by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to the stockholder.
An affidavit of the secretary or
an assistant secretary or of the transfer agent or other agent of the corporation that the notice has been given by a form of electronic
transmission shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.
An “electronic transmission”
means any form of communication, not directly involving the physical transmission of paper, that creates a record that may be retained,
retrieved, and reviewed by a recipient thereof, and that may be directly reproduced in paper form by such a recipient through an automated
process.
7.3. NOTICE TO STOCKHOLDERS SHARING AN ADDRESS
Except as otherwise prohibited under
the NRS, and without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders, any notice to stockholders
given by the corporation under the provisions of the NRS, the articles of incorporation or these bylaws shall be effective if given by
a single written notice to stockholders who share an address if consented to by the stockholders at that address to whom such notice is
given. Any such consent shall be revocable by the stockholder by written notice to the corporation. Any stockholder who fails to object
in writing to the corporation, within 60 days of having been given written notice by the corporation of its intention to send the single
notice, shall be deemed to have consented to receiving such single written notice.
18
7.4. NOTICE TO PERSON WITH WHOM COMMUNICATION IS UNLAWFUL
Whenever notice is required to be
given, under the NRS, the articles of incorporation or these bylaws, to any person with whom communication is unlawful, the giving of
such notice to such person shall not be required and there shall be no duty to apply to any governmental authority or agency for a license
or permit to give such notice to such person. Any action or meeting which shall be taken or held without notice to any such person with
whom communication is unlawful shall have the same force and effect as if such notice had been duly given. In the event that the action
taken by the corporation is such as to require the filing of a certificate or other instrument under the NRS, such instrument shall state,
if such is the fact and if notice is required, that notice was given to all persons entitled to receive notice except such persons with
whom communication is unlawful.
7.5. WAIVER OF NOTICE
Whenever notice is required to be
given to stockholders, directors or other persons under any provision of the NRS, the articles of incorporation or these bylaws, a written
waiver, signed by the person entitled to notice, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to notice, whether before
or after the time of the event for which notice is to be given, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting
shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting at
the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business
to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the stockholders or the board of directors, as the case may
be, need be specified in any written waiver of notice or any waiver by electronic transmission unless so required by the articles of incorporation
or these bylaws.
ARTICLE VIII — INDEMNIFICATION
8.1. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS IN THIRD PARTY
PROCEEDINGS
Subject to the other provisions
of this Article VIII, the corporation shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by the NRS, as now or hereinafter in effect, any
person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “Proceeding”) (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation)
by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director of the corporation or an officer of the corporation, or while a director of
the corporation or officer of the corporation is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or
agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees),
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such Proceeding if
such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation,
and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful. The
termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not,
of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be
in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause
to believe that such person’s conduct was unlawful.
8.2. INDEMNIFICATION
OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS IN ACTIONS BY OR IN THE RIGHT OF THE CORPORATION
Subject to the other provisions of
this Article VIII, the corporation shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by the NRS, as now or hereinafter in effect, any person
who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of
the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the corporation,
or while a director or officer of the corporation is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee
or agent of another corporation, partnership,
19
joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees)
actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted
in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation; except
that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged by a court
of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals, to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that such court
in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all
the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses such court or any other court
shall deem proper.
8.3. SUCCESSFUL DEFENSE
To the extent that a present or former
director or officer of the corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding described
in Section 8.1 or Section 8.2, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses
(including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.
8.4. INDEMNIFICATION OF OTHERS
Subject to the other provisions
of this Article VIII, the corporation shall have power to indemnify its employees and its agents to the extent not prohibited by the NRS
or other applicable law. The board of directors shall have the power to delegate the determination of whether employees or agents shall
be indemnified to such person or persons as the board of determines.
8.5. ADVANCED PAYMENT OF EXPENSES
Expenses (including attorneys’
fees) incurred by an officer or director of the corporation in defending any Proceeding shall be paid by the corporation in advance of
the final disposition of such Proceeding upon receipt of a written request therefor (together with documentation reasonably evidencing
such expenses) and an undertaking by or on behalf of the person to repay such amounts if it shall ultimately be determined that the person
is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article VIII or the NRS. Such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by former
directors and officers or other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the corporation deems reasonably
appropriate and shall be subject to the corporation’s expense guidelines. The right to advancement of expenses shall not apply to
any claim for which indemnity is excluded pursuant to these bylaws, but shall apply to any Proceeding referenced in Section 8.6(ii) or
8.6(iii) prior to a determination that the person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation.
8.6. LIMITATION ON INDEMNIFICATION
Subject to the requirements in Section
8.3 and the NRS, the corporation shall not be obligated to indemnify any person pursuant to this Article VIII in connection with any Proceeding
(or any part of any Proceeding):
(i)
for which payment has actually been made to or on behalf of such person under any statute, insurance
policy, indemnity provision, vote or otherwise, except with respect to any excess beyond the amount paid;
20
(ii) for
an accounting or disgorgement of profits pursuant to Section 16(b) of the 1934 Act, or similar provisions of federal, state or local statutory
law or common law, if such person is held liable therefor (including pursuant to any settlement arrangements);
(iii) for
any reimbursement of the corporation by such person of any bonus or other incentive- based or equity-based compensation or of any profits
realized by such person from the sale of securities of the corporation, as required in each case under the 1934 Act (including any such
reimbursements that arise from an accounting restatement of the corporation pursuant to Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002
(the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), or the payment to the corporation of profits arising from the purchase and sale by such
person of securities in violation of Section 306 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act), if such person is held liable therefor (including pursuant
to any settlement arrangements);
(iv) initiated
by such person against the corporation or its directors, officers, employees, agents or other indemnitees, unless (a) the board of directors
authorized the Proceeding (or the relevant part of the Proceeding) prior to its initiation, (b) the corporation provides the indemnification,
in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the corporation under applicable law, (c) otherwise required to be made under
Section 8.7 or (d) otherwise required by applicable law; or
(v) if
prohibited by applicable law; provided, however, that if any provision or provisions of this Article VIII shall be held to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (1) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this
Article VIII (including, without limitation, each portion of any paragraph or clause containing any such provision held to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired
thereby; and (2) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Article VIII (including, without limitation, each such portion
of any paragraph or clause containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give
effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.
8.7. DETERMINATION; CLAIM
If a claim for
indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Article VIII is not paid in full within 90 days after receipt by the corporation
of the written request therefor, the claimant shall be entitled to an adjudication by a court of competent jurisdiction of his or her
entitlement to such indemnification or advancement of expenses. The corporation shall indemnify such person against any and all expenses
that are incurred by such person in connection with any action for indemnification or advancement of expenses from the corporation under
this Article VIII, to the extent such person is successful in such action, and to the extent not prohibited by law. In any such suit,
the corporation shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, have the burden of proving that the claimant is not entitled to the
requested indemnification or advancement of expenses.
8.8. NON-EXCLUSIVITY OF RIGHTS
The indemnification and advancement
of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article VIII shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking
indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under the articles of incorporation or any statute, bylaw, agreement, vote
of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person’s official capacity and as to action in
another capacity while holding such office. The corporation is specifically authorized to enter into individual contracts with any or
all of its directors, officers, employees or agents respecting indemnification and advancement of expenses, to the fullest extent not
prohibited by the NRS or other applicable law.
21
8.9. INSURANCE
The corporation may purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the
request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such
person’s status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under
the provisions of the NRS.
8.10. SURVIVAL
The rights to indemnification and advancement
of expenses conferred by this Article VIII shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and
shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under

employee or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and
in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall

EXHIBIT 99.1
Twin Vee PowerCats Co. Announces Reincorporation
to Nevada to Enhance Corporate Flexibility and Drive Long-Term Cost Savings
FORT PIERCE, FL / ACCESSWIRE / April 13, 2026
— Twin Vee PowerCats Co. (Nasdaq:VEEE),(“Twin Vee” or the “Company”), a manufacturer, distributor, and marketer
of power sport boats, today announced that it has completed its reincorporation from the State of Delaware to the State of Nevada. The
strategic move was approved by the Company’s stockholders at its annual meeting of stockholders in November as a proactive measure
to reduce operational costs and support Twin Vee’s long-term growth objectives.
Specifically, a majority of the Company’s stockholders
who voted agreed that reincorporating in Nevada serves the best interests of Twin Vee and its stockholders by providing a reliable, statute-focused
legal environment that establishes clear guideposts for strategic decision-making. “We believe that Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter
78, which governs Nevada corporations, is generally recognized as a comprehensive and thoughtfully maintained state corporate statute,”
said Joseph Visconti, CEO and President of Twin Vee PowerCats Co. “As we look to our planned growth, strategic decisions, and plan
for the years to come, removing ambiguity resulting from the prioritization of judicial interpretation can offer our Board and management
clearer guideposts for action that we believe will benefit our stockholders.”
According to Visconti, Twin Vee’s reincorporation
brings several immediate and long-term benefits to the Company and its stockholders. Foremost is substantial cost savings. The move to
Nevada eliminates the obligation to pay the annual Delaware franchise tax, retaining vital capital within the business to be deployed
toward manufacturing, innovation, and expansion.
Additionally, the Company anticipates that the transition
could reduce litigation distractions. “By moving away from Delaware’s increasingly litigious environment, which can result
in less meritorious and costly lawsuits, Twin Vee can minimize unnecessary distractions for its directors and management,” explains
Visconti. “This keeps the team strictly focused on operational execution and stockholders value.”
Furthermore, Twin Vee believes that Nevada’s
legal framework provides enhanced corporate flexibility, granting greater agility in structuring certain corporate transactions and responding
to the evolving business environment.
“Importantly, the reincorporation to Nevada
will not cause any disruption to Twin Vee’s daily operations,” remarked Visconti. “There will be no changes to the Company’s
business model or location. By ensuring seamless operational continuity while unlocking new flexibility and cost efficiencies, this transition
positions Twin Vee to pursue its long-term growth initiatives and continue delivering The Best Riding Boat on the Water to our customers.”
