 of an advisory vote on executive compensation.

This vote is advisory and not binding on the Company or our Board in any way. The Board and the Organizational Development and Compensation Committee will take into account the outcome of the vote, however, when considering the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation. The Board may decide that it is in the best interests of our shareholders and the Company to hold an advisory vote on executive compensation more or less frequently than the frequency receiving the most votes cast by our shareholders.

The proxy card provides shareholders with the opportunity to choose among four options (holding the advisory vote on compensation once every year, once every two years or once every three years, or abstaining); therefore, shareholders will not be voting to approve or disapprove the recommendation of the Board.

Unless instructed to the contrary, the shares represented by the proxies will be voted for the option of ONCE EVERY YEAR as the preferred frequency with respect to the say-when-on-pay proposal.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE FOR THE OPTION OFONCE EVERY YEARAS THE PREFERRED FREQUENCY FOR ADVISORY VOTES ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.

If any shareholder wishes to submit a proposal for inclusion in the proxy materials for the Company’s 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “2026 Annual Meeting”) pursuant to SEC Rule 14a-8, the shareholder must comply with applicable securities regulations, including providing adequate notice to the Company. Such proposal must be received at the Company’s executive offices on or before December 31, 2025. If the date of the 2026 Annual Meeting changes by more than 30 days from June 10, 2026, then the deadline to submit stockholder proposals for inclusion in the proxy statement for the 2026 Annual Meeting will be a reasonable time before the Company begins to print and mail its proxy materials for the 2026 Annual Meeting. The Company will determine whether to include a proposal in the 2026 proxy statement in accordance with the SEC rules governing the solicitation of proxies.

If a stockholder proposal is submitted outside the proposal process mandated by SEC Rule 14a-8, and is submitted instead under the Company’s advance notice Bylaw provision (Section 2.12 of the Bylaws), the proposal must be submitted in writing, by certified mail-return receipt requested
