2. Amendment to the Company's Restated Certificate of
Incorporation to classify the Board of Directors into three classes, with directors in each class to serve
staggered three-year terms. Pursuant to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, Proposal Two must receive
the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all of the
then-outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of
directors, voting together as a single class, since directors representing two-thirds (2/3) of the total
number of authorized directors have already approved. The amendment was not approved2 by the
votes as indicated below:

Note 1: Includes 120,000,000 votes of the 12,000,000 shares of Class B Common
Stock held by White Marble LLC and White Marble International Limited (together, the "White Marble
Entities") controlled by Dr. Xiaodi Hou.
Note 2: The White Marble Entities have filed an action in the Delaware Court of
Chancery seeking a declaratory judgment that the voting agreement between White Marble and Mo Chen is
invalid and White Marble, not Mo Chen, controls the vote. White Marble LLC v. Chen, C.A. No.
2024-1208-PAF (Del. Ch.) On December 13, 2024, the Court entered an order that allows the Company to
hold the vote on Proposal Two, and ordered that if Proposal Two is not approved at the Annual Meeting
but the Court determines in the Action that Mo Chen, not the White Marble Entities, control how the
White Marble Entities' Shares are voted, then the White Marble Entities' shares shall be deemed to have
been voted in favor of Proposal Two at the Annual Meeting and that such vote shall stand. The vote
totals above include the votes of the shares held by the White Marble Entities as voted by the White
Marble Entities. If the shares held by the White Marble entities reflected in the totals above are
deemed to have been voted in favor of Proposal Two, the Proposal will have passed. Accordingly, if the
Court rules in Mo Chen's favor, Proposal Two will be deemed to have passed and the Company would be
permitted to amend its Certificate of Incorporation to implement Proposal Two and each of the directors
elected pursuant to Proposal One will serve on the Board until the annual meeting of stockholders in
accordance with the class of director to which each nominee is assigned.
