“We are deeply grateful for the continued

are currently working to bring our first state-of-the-art

talented Eos team. Having all the proxy proposals approved allows
us to continue to execute the strategic plan outlined on December
12, 2023.”
The Company is pleased to report that
stockholders approved the election of Marian “Mimi” Walters and
