 14A of the Exchange Act, the Company is asking its shareholders to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers as disclosed in these proxy materials. |

The Board recommends a vote FOR this proposal because it believes that our compensation program is effective in attracting and retaining quality executives by:

• Aligning our executives’ interests with those of our shareholders to maximize long-term value, and

• Motivating our executives to achieve, and rewarding them for, superior performance.

This advisory proposal, commonly referred to as a “say-on-pay” proposal, is not binding on the Board or the Compensation Committee. However, the Board and the Compensation Committee believe that it is appropriate to seek the views of shareholders on the design and effectiveness of the Company’s executive compensation program on an annual basis.

At the Company’s prior annual meeting of shareholders held in May 2024, approximately 92.0% of the votes cast on the “say-on-pay” proposal were voted in favor of the proposal, demonstrating our shareholders’ support of the Company’s approach to executive compensation and consistent with our strong “say-on-pay” results over the last ten years.

| Vote     
 Required |     | The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on this proposal is required to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, this proposal. |

| Your Board recommends a vote “FOR” the approval of the “say-on-pay” advisory vote. |
