<div align='center'>**Adoption and Approval of 2025 Equity Incentive Plan

(Proposal 2)**</div>

**Overview

On April 24, 2025, the Board unanimously adopted and approved the company’s 2025 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2025 Plan”) and is submitting the 2025 Plan to shareholders for their adoption and approval at our 2025 annual meeting of shareholders. The Board believes the 2025 Plan advances the company’s interests by allowing the company to attract and retain the best available personnel; to provide additional incentive to employees, directors, and consultants; and to promote the success of our business. The Board has adopted and approved the 2025 Plan to permit the company to continue to use stock-based compensation to align shareholder and participant interests and to motivate participants providing services to the company. The company’s stock-based compensation program is currently operated under the company’s 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”). Upon approval of the 2025 Plan by shareholders, the 2017 Plan will be terminated and no new awards will be granted under the 2017 Plan after the date of the 2025 annual meeting of shareholders.

It is in the long-term interests of both the company and its shareholders to strengthen the company’s ability to attract, retain and motivate employees, officers, nonemployee directors and certain other service providers and to provide additional incentives for those persons through stock ownership and other incentives to improve financial performance, increase profits and strengthen the mutuality of interest between those persons and the company’s shareholders.

A Reasonable Number of Shares Will Be Reserved Under the 2025 Plan

Following the 2025 Plan’s approval by our shareholders, no additional awards will be granted under the 2017 Plan, and the 2025 Plan will be the company’s only active employee equity plan. If the 2025 Plan is approved, the maximum number of Shares (as defined in the
