Meta stockholder approval of the charter amendment proposal is required under Section 242 of the DGCL. Meta will transact such other business as may be properly brought before the Meta special meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. At this time, Meta’s board of directors knows of no other proposals or matters to be presented.

A Meta stockholder can cast one vote for each share of Meta common stock owned on the Meta record date. Approval of each of the Meta merger proposal and the charter amendment proposal requires approval by Meta stockholders holding a majority of the outstanding shares of Meta common stock entitled to vote thereon. Approval of the Meta adjournment proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the total votes cast by holders of Meta common stock on such proposal at the Meta special meeting. If a Meta stockholder marks “ ABSTAIN ” with respect to the Meta merger proposal or the charter amendment proposal or fails to either submit a proxy card or vote in person at the Meta special meeting or instruct the stockholder’s broker with respect to the Meta merger proposal or the charter amendment proposal, it will have the same effect as a vote “ AGAINST ” the Meta merger proposal or the charter amendment proposal, respectively. If a Meta stockholder marks “ ABSTAIN ” with respect to the Meta adjournment proposal, it will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum and will have the same effect as a vote “ AGAINST ” the Meta adjournment proposal. If a Meta stockholder fails to submit a proxy card or fails to instruct the stockholder’s broker with respect to the Meta adjournment proposal, if a quorum is present, it will have no effect on such proposal. For additional and more detailed information regarding the effect of broker non-votes, see “Meta Special Meeting—Shares Held in Street Name.” As of the Meta record date, Meta’s directors and executive officers and their affiliates held approximately 6.91% of the outstanding shares of Meta common stock entitled to vote at the Meta special meeting.
