Item 5.07

Submission of Matters to a Vote of Stockholders

On October 27, 2026, the Company held a virtual special meeting of stockholders (the "Special Meeting"), at which the holders of 40,439,369 shares of Company common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Shares" and each, a "Share"), representing 73.6% of the Shares outstanding and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting as of September 16, 2026, the Special Meeting record date (the "Record Date"), were present at the Special Meeting via the virtual meeting website or represented by proxy. A summary of the final voting results for the following proposals, each of which is described in detail in the Proxy Statement, which was first mailed to the Company's stockholders on or about September 18, 2026, is set forth below:

Proposal 1: Merger Agreement Proposal

As previously announced, on July 28, 2026, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time in accordance with its terms, the "Merger Agreement"), by and among the Company, Viking ParentCo, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Parent"), and Viking MergerCo, Inc., a Delaware corporation and direct wholly owned subsidiary of Parent ("Merger Sub"), pursuant to which Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company (the "Merger" and, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the "Transactions"), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.

At the Special Meeting, the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement (the "Merger Agreement Proposal") was approved, having received "for" votes from holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares entitled to vote on the Merger Agreement Proposal. The final votes on the Merger Agreement Proposal were as follows:

FOR

AGAINST

ABSTENTIONS

39,198,360

1,180,759 60,250

Proposal 2: Merger-Related Compensation Proposal

At the Special Meeting, the Company's stockholders voted upon and approved the proposal to approve, by a non-binding advisory vote, the compensation that may be paid or become payable to the Company's named executive officers that is based on or otherwise relates to the Transactions, including the Merger (the "Merger-Related Compensation Proposal"). The Merger-Related Compensation Proposal was approved, having received "for" votes from holders of a majority of the Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting and entitled to vote on the matter. The final votes on the Merger-Related Compensation Proposal were as follows:

FOR

AGAINST

ABSTENTIONS

37,188,161

3,130,664 120,544

Proposal 3: Adjournment Proposal

Because there were sufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to approve the Merger Agreement Proposal, adjournment of the Special Meeting was not necessary or appropriate. Accordingly, Proposal 3 was rendered moot and was not presented at the Special Meeting.

The Company expects to close the Transactions on or about November 2, 2026, in accordance with, and subject to the terms of, the Merger Agreement.
