#### Broker Non-Votes and Abstentions
If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” and do not provide the broker, bank, or other nominee that holds your shares with specific voting instructions, under the rules of various national and regional securities exchanges, the organization that holds your shares may generally vote on routine matters but cannot vote on non-routine matters. If the broker, bank, or other nominee that holds your shares does not receive instructions from you on how to vote your shares on a non-routine matter, the organization that holds your shares will inform the inspector of election that it does not have the authority to vote on this matter with respect to your shares. This is commonly referred to as a “broker non-vote.”

Absent instructions from the beneficial owner of such shares, a broker, bank, other nominee is not entitled to vote shares held for a beneficial owner on “non-routine” matters. At our Annual Meeting, only the proposal to ratify KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2025 in Proposal 6 is considered a routine matter. Proposals 1, 2(a), 2(b), 3, 4, 5 and 7 are non-routine matters. We encourage you to provide voting instructions to your broker, whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting.

Each broker non-vote and abstention is counted for determining the presence of a quorum. Proposals 2(a) and 2(b) require a plurality of votes cast. Abstentions and broker non-votes have no effect on the determination of whether a

director nominee has received the vote of a plurality of the shares of Class A-1 common stock present or represented by proxy and cast at the meeting. Further, abstentions will not be considered votes cast on any matter requiring the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast, which means that abstentions with respect to Proposals 4, 5, 6 and 7 will have no impact on the voting results for such proposals. However, abstentions with respect to Proposals 1 and 3, which require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Class A-1 common stock outstanding, will have the same effect as a vote against such proposals. In addition, broker non-votes will have the same effect as a vote against Proposals
