The Company also announced that it plans to reschedule its 2024 annual meeting of shareholders, which the Company expected to hold on Friday May 17, 2024, to later this year, in light of the strategic transformation. Until it completes the RIC Conversion, the Company will operate as a taxable C Corporation. As a C Corporation, the Company will generally be subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes on its taxable income. The Company plans to take advantage of its significant existing net operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs") to offset the majority of any U.S. federal taxable liability, and a portion of any state income tax liability, incurred on future taxable income it may generate while operating as a C Corporation.
