 Islam, Gwen Melincoff, Claude Nicaise, Eric I. Richman and Jeffrey Riley. Each director to be elected and qualified will hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until his or her successor is duly elected, and qualified, or, if sooner, until the director’s death, resignation or removal. Each of the nominees listed above, with the exception of Mr. Mack who joined our Board in January 2025, is a director of the Company who was previously elected by the stockholders.

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee seeks to assemble a board that, as a whole, possesses the appropriate balance of professional and industry knowledge, financial expertise, diversity and high-level management experience necessary to oversee and direct our business. To that end, the committee has identified and evaluated nominees in the broader context of the Board’s overall composition, with the goal of recruiting members who complement and strengthen the skills of other members and who also exhibit integrity, collegiality, sound business judgment and other qualities that the committee views as critical to effective functioning of the Board. To provide a mix of experience and perspective on the Board, the committee takes into account factors that it deems appropriate to maintain a balance of knowledge, experience and capability on the Board. The biographies below under “Information Regarding Director Nominees and Current Directors” include information, as of the date of this Proxy Statement, regarding the specific and particular experience, qualifications, attributes or skills of each director or director nominee that led the committee to believe that that nominee should continue to serve on the Board. However, each of the members of the committee may have a variety of reasons why a particular person would be an appropriate nominee for the Board, and these views may differ from the views of other members.

Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the holders of shares present at the Annual Meeting or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the election of directors. Accordingly, if a quorum is present, the eight nominees receiving the highest number of “FOR” votes will be elected. Shares represented by executed proxies will be voted, if authority to do so is not withheld, for the election of the eight nominees named below. Proxies cannot be voted for a greater number of persons than the eight nominees named in this Proxy Statement. Broker non-votes and withheld votes will have no effect on the outcome of Proposal 1. If any nominee becomes unavailable for election as a result of an unexpected occurrence, shares that would have been voted
