The LNKB merger proposal was approved by LNKB shareholders. In connection with the Meeting, LNKB also solicited proxies with respect to a proposal to adjourn the Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, in the event there were not sufficient votes in favor of the LNKB merger proposal at the time of the Meeting.
