Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On August 9, 2024, the Company adopted its Amended and Restated 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “A&R Plan”), which amends and restates the Company’s 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Original Plan”) in full. The Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) unanimously approved the adoption of the A&R Plan, subject to stockholder approval, on June 15, 2024, and, as described in Item 5.07 below, the Company’s stockholders approved the A&R Plan at the Company’s 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) held on August 9, 2024.

The A&R Plan amends the Original Plan to:

increase the number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance thereunder from 92,376 shares to 1,000,000 shares;
remove the limitation on the number of Award Shares that may be issued pursuant to the exercise of incentive stock options issued thereunder;
remove language specifying how Award Shares will be counted for purposes of determining the number of Award Shares available for the grant of Stock Awards thereunder;
remove the limitations on granting awards with vesting less than twelve months from the date of grant; and
remove the limitation on the aggregate value of all compensation that may be granted or paid to any individual for service as a non-employee director of the Company in any given calendar year.

Additional information regarding the A&R Plan is set forth in the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A (the “Proxy Statement”) filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 28, 2024, which information is incorporated herein by reference. Such information and the foregoing description of the A&R Plan do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Company’s A&R Plan, a copy of which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K (“Current Report”) as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

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

On August 9, 2024, the Company held the Annual Meeting in a virtual format. At the close of business on June 17, 2024, the record date for the Annual Meeting, there were 6,183,592 shares of Company common stock issued and outstanding, which constituted all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company as of the record date. At the Annual Meeting, 2,395,964 of the Company’s 6,183,592 shares of common stock entitled to vote as of the record date, or approximately 38.7%, were represented by proxy or in person (virtually), and, therefore, a quorum was present.
