ons its solicitation or fails to comply with the universal proxy rules after a stockholder has already
granted proxy authority, stockholders can still sign and date a later submitted WHITE proxy card (or WHITE voting
instruction form, if applicable). If the Orbic Group withdraws or abandons its solicitation or fails to comply with the universal
proxy rules (by, for example, failing to solicit the requisite number of holders of our outstanding common stock), any votes cast in
favor of the Orbic Nominees will be disregarded and will not be counted, whether such vote is provided on the Company’s WHITE
proxy card (or WHITEvoting instruction form) or the Orbic Nominees’ blue proxy card.

What are the costs of soliciting these proxies, and who is paying for this proxy solicitation?

We will pay all of the costs of soliciting these proxies. We and our directors (including our director nominees), as well as other persons who solicit proxies on our behalf, are considered to be “participants” in this proxy solicitation under applicable SEC regulations. Please refer to Annex B, Supplemental Information Regarding Participants in the Company’s Solicitation of Proxies, for information about our directors (including our director nominees) as well as information about certain of our executive officers and other employees who may solicit proxies on our behalf. Other than the persons described in Annex B, none of our employees will be employed to solicit proxies. However, in the course of their regular duties, employees may be asked to perform clerical or ministerial tasks in furtherance of our solicitation of proxies. For example, in addition to these proxy materials, our directors and employees may solicit proxies in person, by telephone, or by other means of communication. Directors and employees will not be paid any additional compensation for soliciting proxies.

We have retained Sodali & Co to aid in the solicitation of proxies and related advisory services for a fee of up to approximately $125,000, plus reimbursement of expenses. We may incur additional fees if we request additional services. Sodali & Co estimates that approximately 25 of its employees will assist in our proxy solicitation. We will request brokers, banks, or other nominees in whose names shares of common stock are registered to furnish to the beneficial holders this proxy statement and the WHITEproxy card, and any other materials related to the Annual Meeting, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, and, upon request, we will
