 5, 2026) nor earlier than 120 days (i.e., January 6, 2026) before the “Specified Date.” Under the by-laws, the Specified Date is the first Wednesday in May each year (unless it is a legal holiday, in which case the Specified Date is the next day following the Specified Date that is not a legal holiday). In the event that the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders is called for a date that is prior to the Specified Date, and if less than 105 days’ notice or prior public disclosure of the date of such annual meeting is given or made, notice of any proposal (including nominations of directors) submitted pursuant to the by-laws by a stockholder to be timely must be received not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the earlier of the day on which notice of the date of such annual meeting is mailed or the day on which public disclosure is made of the date of such annual meeting. In addition, under Rule 14a-19(b) under the Exchange Act, a stockholder intending to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than our nominees must provide notice of that intent to us. For our 2026 annual meeting of stockholders, the deadline for providing that notice is currently April 5, 2026. If we change the date of the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders by more than 30 calendar days from the anniversary of the date of our 2025 annual meeting of stockholders, the deadline for the notice under Rule 14a-19 will be the later of 60 calendar days before the date of the 2026 annual meeting or the 10th calendar day after we first publicly announce the date of the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders. The deadline under Rule 14a-19(b) is a minimum notice requirement that does not override or supersede the earlier deadline in our by-laws. A stockholder intending to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than our nominees must satisfy the requirements of both our by-laws and Rule 14a-19, which imposes conditions beyond those in our by-laws. Rule 14a-19(b) requires that the stockholder’s notice to us must include the names of all nominees for whom the stockholder intends to solicit proxies and must include a statement that the stockholder intends to solicit the holders of shares representing at least 67% of the voting power of shares entitled to vote on
