#### PROPOSAL NO. 2
NON-BINDING ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The following proposal gives our stockholders the opportunity to vote to approve or not approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in the “ Compensation Discussion and Analysis ” and “ Executive Compensation ” sections of this proxy statement. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our named executive officers and our compensation philosophy, policies and practices with respect to our named executive officers. We are providing this vote as required by Section 14A of the Exchange Act, which was added to the Exchange Act by Section 951 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. We provide this vote annually based on an election made by our stockholders at our 2024 annual meeting of stockholders, and we are asking our stockholders to vote on the frequency of this advisory vote again during this Annual Meeting. The Board of Directors believes that the overall design and function of the Company’s executive compensation program is appropriate and effective in aligning the interests of the Company, management and the Company’s stockholders and that management is properly incentivized to manage the Company in a prudent manner. Accordingly, we are asking our stockholders to vote “FOR” the adoption of the following resolution:

• “RESOLVED, that the stockholders advise that they approve the compensation of the named executive officers of the Company, as disclosed in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” and “Executive Compensation” sections of this proxy statement pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (which disclosure shall include the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables, and any related material).”

Although the vote is non-binding, the Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee will review the voting results in connection with their ongoing evaluation of the Company’s executive compensation program.

VOTE REQUIRED AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ RECOMMENDATION

Assuming a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting, either in person or by proxy, is required for approval of this proposal. Abstentions, failures to vote and broker non-votes are not considered votes cast and will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR ADVISORY APPROVAL OF THE RESOLUTION SET FORTH ABOVE.
