Classes of Stock

Common Stock

On June 10, 2026, the Company held its annual meeting of stockholders at which time the Company's stockholders approved an amendment to the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the total number of authorized shares of the Company's $0.01 par value common stock from 300,000,000 shares to 450,000,000 shares. The Company subsequently amended its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to reflect the increase. As of June 30, 2026, the Company was authorized to issue 450,000,000 shares of $0.01 par value common stock. Each share of common stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of stockholders.
