 not required by our Bylaws or any other applicable law, our Audit Committee is submitting the selection of PwC to the stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. If the stockholders fail to ratify the selection, our Audit Committee and Board will reconsider whether or not to retain PwC. Even if the selection is ratified, our Audit Committee, at its discretion, may direct the appointment of a different firm to act as our independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in our best interests and in the best interests of our stockholders.

Ratification of the selection of PwC requires that the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting vote “FOR” this Proposal 3. An “ABSTAIN” vote will have the same effect as an “AGAINST” vote in this Proposal 3. Unless marked otherwise, proxies returned to us will be voted “FOR” Proposal 3. Discretionary votes by brokers, banks and related agents on this routine proposal will be counted toward the quorum requirement and will affect the outcome of the vote. Broker non-votes, if any, will have no effect on the vote for this Proposal 3.

The proposal passed with the support of a majority of the votes cast at the meeting.

There are only two such supermajority provisions explicit in our Charter. Our Charter requires the affirmative vote of the combined voting power of 66 2/3% of the outstanding shares to approve the following actions:

1. Amendment of our Bylaws by stockholders ( Article IX ); and

2. Amendment of certain provisions of our Charter ( Article X ) (collectively, the “Supermajority Provisions”).

Following the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders, our Nominating and Governance Committee, which oversees and advises our Board with respect to corporate governance matters, policies
