 with the opportunity to express their views on the compensation of our Named Executive Officers by casting a non-binding advisory vote on a resolution to approve the compensation of our Named Executive Officers as disclosed in “Executive and Director Compensation.” This vote is not intended to address any specific element of compensation, but instead is intended to address the overall compensation of our Named Executive Officers as disclosed in this Proxy Statement.

We believe that our executive compensation program is effective and aligned with the long-term interests of our stockholders and that the total compensation packages provided to our Named Executive Officers are reasonable in the aggregate. Accordingly, the Board invites you to review carefully the “Executive and Director Compensation” section of this Proxy Statement and cast a vote in favor of the compensation paid to our Named Executive Officers, as disclosed in such section, and adopt the following resolution:

“RESOLVED, that the stockholders approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K.”

The Board recognizes that executive compensation is an important matter for stockholders and values the opinions of our stockholders. As such, while this vote on the compensation of our Named Executive Officers is non-binding and solely advisory in nature, the Board and the Nominating, Governance and Compensation Committee will review and consider the voting results when making future decisions regarding our executive compensation program. Currently, we expect the next “say-on-pay” advisory vote will occur at our 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
