On May 30, 2023, the Board approved and adopted an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) to remove Article XV, which provision had designated the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland, (the “Maryland Circuit Court”) or, if the Maryland Circuit Court does not have jurisdiction, the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, Northern Division, as the exclusive forum for certain legal actions involving the Company. As a result of the Amendment, the Bylaws no longer contain an exclusive forum provision.
