As previously disclosed, on February 5, 2024, the plaintiffs in the Shareholder Derivative Actions, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, executed a Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement dated February 2, 2024 (the "Stipulation"), which, subject to final court approval, provides the defendants in the Shareholder Derivative Actions with customary releases and, as previously disclosed, will require the Company to implement a suite of corporate governance enhancements (the "Settlement").

The Settlement is subject to definitive documentation and final court approval.
