 nominee for election to the Board at the Annual Meeting. If elected, Mr. Angelo will continue to serve until our annual meeting in 2028, and until his respective successor is qualified and elected or until his earlier death, resignation or removal. Unless otherwise instructed, the proxy holders will vote the proxies received by them “FOR” Mr. Angelo as the Class III director. If the nominee is unable or declines to serve as a director at the time of the Annual Meeting, the proxies will be voted for another nominee designated by the Board. We are not aware of any reason that the nominee would be unable or unwilling to serve as a director. Vote Required The director nominee receiving the highest number of votes cast by the shares present (including virtually) or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting on this matter will be elected to the Board. Votes that are withheld and broker non-votes will be excluded entirely and will have no effect in the election of the director. The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that stockholders vote “FOR” the election of Michael F. Angelo as the Class III Director. 22
