 customers are generally required to vote such shares in the manner directed by their customers. In the absence of timely directions, your broker, bank, or other nominee will have discretion to vote your shares on our sole "routine" matter, which is the proposal to ratify the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. Absent direction from you, your broker, bank, or other nominee will not have discretion to vote on Proposals One or Three, which are "non-routine" matters. In the event that your broker, bank, or other nominee votes your shares on our sole routine matter, but is not able to vote your shares on the non-routine matters, then those shares will be treated as broker non-votes with respect to the non-routine proposals. Accordingly, if you own shares through a nominee, such as a broker or bank, please be sure to instruct your nominee how to vote to ensure that your shares are counted on each of the proposals.

How are proxies solicited for the Annual Meeting and who is paying for such solicitation?

Our Board of Directors is soliciting proxies for use in the Annual Meeting by means of the proxy materials. All expenses associated with this solicitation will be borne by us, including the preparation, assembly, printing, mailing, and distribution of these proxy materials. In addition, we will reimburse brokers, banks, and other nominees for reasonable expenses that they incur in sending our proxy materials to you if a broker, bank, or other nominee holds shares of our common stock on your behalf. Our directors, officers, and other employees may also solicit proxies in person, by mail, telephone, email, or by other means of communication. Our directors, officers, and other employees will not be paid any additional compensation for soliciting proxies.

### Where can I find the voting results of the Annual Meeting?
We will announce preliminary voting results during the Annual Meeting. We will also disclose voting results on a Current Report on Form 8-K that we will file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) within four business days after the Annual Meeting. If final voting results are not available to us in time to file a Current Report on Form 8-K within four business days after the Annual Meeting, we will provide preliminary voting results in the Current Report on Form 8-K and will provide the final results in an amendment to the Current Report on Form 8-K as soon as they become available.
