ANNUAL MEETING INFORMATION Election of Directors (Item 1) To be elected in an uncontested election, such as this one, a director nominee must receive more “FOR” votes than “AGAINST” votes. Because we did not receive proper advance notice in accordance with our By-Lawsof any shareholder nominees for director, this election of directors is an uncontested election. Abstentions and “broker non-votes”will have no effect on the election of directors. All Other Proposals (Items 2 through 5) Shareholders may vote “FOR” or “AGAINST” each of the other proposals or may abstain from voting. Delaware law and our Bylaws require the affirmative vote of the majority of shares of common stock present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on the subject matter for the approval of Items 2 through 5. A shareholder who signs and submits a proxy is “present,” so an abstention will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” Items 2 through 5. “Broker non-votes,”if any, will have no effect on these items. What are “broker non-votes”? If a broker or other financial institution holds your shares in its name and you do not provide voting instructions to it, NYSE rules allow that firm to vote your shares only on routine matters. Item 3, the ratification of the appointment of our independent auditor for 2025, is the only matter for consideration at the meeting that NYSE rules deem to be routine. For all matters other than Item 3, you must submit voting instructions to the firm that holds your shares if you want your vote to count. When a firm votes a client’s shares on some but not all of the proposals, the missing votes are referred to as “broker non-votes.” Who is entitled to vote at the 2025 Annual Meeting?
