For Proposal 2 ratifying the audit committee’s selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2025, the proposal must receive a “For” vote from the majority of the votes present by remote communication or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and that are entitled to vote on the proposal. This is a routine proposal and therefore we do not expect any broker non-votes.

For Proposal 3 to approve an amendment to our certificate of incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock, the proposal must receive a “For” vote from the majority of votes cast either online or by proxy at the Annual Meeting and that are entitled to vote on the proposal. This is a routine proposal and therefore we do not expect any broker non-votes.

Who is paying for this proxy solicitation?

We will pay for the entire cost of soliciting proxies. In addition to the proxy materials, our directors and employees may also solicit proxies online, by telephone or by other means of communication. We will not pay our directors and employees any additional compensation for soliciting proxies. We may also reimburse brokerage firms, banks and other agents for the cost of forwarding the notice and any other proxy materials to beneficial owners.

What does it mean if I receive more than one set of proxy materials?

If you receive more than one set of proxy materials, your shares may be registered in more than one name or are registered in different accounts. Please vote by proxy according to each set of proxy materials to ensure that all of your shares are voted.

Can I change my vote after submitting my proxy?

Yes. If you are a holder of record, you may revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted at the Annual Meeting by delivering written notice of revocation to our Secretary, by submitting a subsequently dated proxy by mail, telephone or the internet in the manner described above under “How do I vote,” or by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person virtually. Attendance at the Annual Meeting will not itself revoke an earlier submitted proxy. Your most current proxy card or telephone or internet proxy is the one that is counted.

If you hold your shares in street name, you must follow the instructions provided by your broker, bank or nominee to revoke your voting instructions, or, if you have obtained a legal proxy from your broker, bank or other nominee giving you the right to vote your shares at the Annual Meeting,
