| PROPOSAL THREE |

Advisory Vote on the Compensation of Our Named Executive Officers

In accordance with the rules of the SEC, we are providing stockholders with an opportunity to make a non-binding, advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers. This non-binding advisory vote is commonly referred to as a “say on pay” vote.

Stockholders are urged to read the “Executive Compensation” section of this Proxy Statement, which discusses how our executive compensation policies and procedures implement our compensation philosophy and contains tabular information and narrative discussion about the compensation of our named executive officers. The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors believe that these policies and procedures are effective in implementing our compensation philosophy and in achieving our goals. Accordingly, we ask our stockholders to vote “FOR” the following resolution at the Annual Meeting:

“RESOLVED, that our stockholders approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation of the named executive officers, as disclosed in the Proxy Statement pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the compensation tables and narrative discussion and the other related disclosures.”

As an advisory vote, this proposal is not binding. However, our Board of Directors and Compensation Committee, which is responsible for designing and administering our executive compensation program, value the opinions expressed by stockholders in their vote on this proposal and will consider the outcome of the vote when making future compensation decisions for our named executive officers.

Required Vote

The non-binding advisory vote on the compensation paid to our named executive officers in 2024, as disclosed in this Proxy Statement, will be determined by the vote of a majority of the shares present at the Annual Meeting or voting by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions will have the same effect as votes “AGAINST” this proposal. Broker non-votes will have no effect on this proposal as they are not considered entitled to vote for the foregoing purpose. This proposal is considered to be a non-routine proposal on which a broker or other nominee does not have discretionary
